Last night we stayed at the municipal albergue in Guillena. The showers were warm, there is a kitchen and a dining area, also a rooftop clothesline setup. This is next to a pair of wash tubs. Of course you will have brought your own soap! (I got a small bottle of dish soap, it's doing nicely for all of my needs.)
After a good night's sleep, we woke up, pack up up our stuff, and elected to take a taxi for the first 17 kilometers of the 28 kilometer day. We just aren't up to grade for a 28 km day that ends with some steep hill climbing yet.
The drive to the Finca de Berrocal was lovely, very reminiscent of roads in the Texas Hill Country. Lots of turns and ups and downs. When we were dropped off we walked over a number of gentle hills, culminating with the moderate climb up Cerro de Calvario.
The we descended into Almaden de la Plata, a lovely village. We stayed at Casa Concha here.

Not every church has color coordinated roof tiles and storks.
The sign board at Cerro del Calvario.
The afternoon in Almaden was quite warm, until it worked up a little rain storm and the temperature dropped.
