Day 19: Terradillos - Bercianos

WINDY. Today was pretty tough, all day walking into a strong head wind which added that extra bit of resistance and some wind chill factor. We persevered and unlike some other days I spent most of the day walking with the crew, which was nice to chat the day away.

I also had a Patatas tortilla with tomatoes which was pretty special, even considering I've had many, many of these by now.

The walk wasn't super inspiring but we still had a lot of lovely autumn trees and leaves, as well as huge fields of corn. Bercianos is a ghost town, with 120 inhabitants most of whom apparently work in nearby cities and only come here over the weekends!

Maik, the legend that he is, picked up some beers for us to enjoy once we finally arrived. We stayed in a donativo albergue, pay by whatever donation you choose, and the hospitaleros were the most lovely Canadian ladies.

Community dinner was really wholesome, and we had a nice chat with Benjamin for his final night before he returned to Berlin. It kind of reminded us all that the Camino will end up some point and that you do return to normalcy, which was slightly sobering.Læs mere
