Day 13 Poblacion-Calzadilla de la Cueza

31.9km (385 km from start). 2015 calories. 38.000 steps. 6h 10min on the road. 5.9 km/h

Half way through Camino. 13/26 days covered.

Nice hotel last night. Private room and private bathroom but I missed Camino spirit, people around me and that special feeling in the morning, just before people hit the road.

Got huge breakfast, lady at hotel was worried about me walking 32km in that heat (19°) 😂
She delivered food enough for 3 people 😂

Today stage was special - and famous/feared among pilgrims. There is a part with 17km without city’s/villages, shade or place to do breaks. I shared this part with young Korean woman and those 3 hours went quickly.

We had a stop just in between, after 8.5 km. There was a food truck there - and you never know if he will be there - or somewhere else on Camino. I got fresh orange juice, sandwich, banana, mars bar and cold beer. I loved that break.

Staying in little hostel with only 9 beds - just 3 beds in my room. Hoping for some nice company and cozy pilgrim dinner.Read more
