Towards Castrojeriz

Last night I gave my feet a good massage and today they felt better than yesterday. For the meseta section I am following the standard stages suggested in most guides, because they make sense: sometimes there are longer distances between villages, and the stages are between 18 and 25k, which is good while my feet are still not 100%.
Today's route was 20k and there was no need to start too early. I started around 6.15 (I can't believe I'm saying this isn't too early 🤣), walking alone.
Within the first hour, Jan caught up with me and we kept walking together all the way. He's a German guy whom I have seen but never spoken with before. He reminds me of Joachim (some people at work will know who that is).
The landscape was as expected, cereal fields as far as the eye can see. The track, like yesterday, was a little sandy, with small rocks, and fairly flat.Läs mer
