Belorado to San Juan Ortega - 25km

Started earlier today under a very chilly, grey sky. We had a long steep climb into the Montes de Oca, where we followed a forest most of the way. The scenery was really different to other days. Pines and oak trees lined the trail.

We passed through Villafranca Montes de Oca—a quiet village, then up into more rugged, remote country.

Spent a lot of time today thinking how quickly the years fly by and how precious life and time is with loved ones. Missing my kids, grandkids and Mum on Mother’s Day today.Read more
