Najéra to Santo Domingo de la Calzada

Our last walking day!

An easy 21kms between end points today and we stopped for lunch 15kms in, making the end stretch a breeze!

We saw the biggest crowd on the Camino to date when a group from Madrid joined in on a day trip. Most of the walking today was through fields with little variation in landscape and on my least favourite surfaces - paved road with lots of chunky gravel. Hell on the feet! That said, somehow I’ve made it through blister free… not all were so lucky.

Our accommodation tonight is a Parador in Santo Domingo de la Calzada. A restored historic building that once served as a hospital for pilgrims on the way to Santiago - she’s a beaut! Amazing how much I took real towels and sheets, bathtubs and private bathrooms for granted prior to these last 10 days!

Per my previous post today, feeling extra grateful and happy to be alive, living this life.

Tomorrow: Bus to MadridWeiterlesen
