There were two roads from Truxillo.

Crossing the sierra, the main and shorter road came down upon the Tagus at Almarez.

The other passed through Deleytoza, and came down upon the bridge at Condo.

Beyond Deleytoza it appeared to be a mere mule track.
"If there are any parties watching," he said to Mike, "they will expect that my messenger, or I myself, will travel by the main road to Almarez, for not only is it better, but it is shorter.

But again, they might think that, if I suspected we might be attacked, I should take the road through Deleytoza, and would, at any rate, make matters safe by watching both roads.
