We walked over this bridge into the town of Bocacara

Sometimes the path today was very narrow, but full of flowers

mFirst view of Cuidad Rodrigo was in the pouring rain

By the time they got closer, the rain had cleared up

Roel arriving at our hotel. In the towns where there are hotels, there are no albergues

Tonight we have a hotel, not an albergue

Pedestrian and vehicle entrance into the old city

Camino Torres to Cuidad Rodrigo

Today was a short day for me, but Roel and Connie walked the entire stage. I had to quit after the first 8 km when we got to the village of Bocacara. We stopped there for some café con Leche, and the blister on the ball of my left foot prevented me from going further - I’m hoping it will recover and I will be able to walk the entire distance tomorrow. I took a cab and also the backpacks of Roel and Connie to our hotel in Cuidad Rodrigo and they continued walking. So some of the pictures I’m posting today are pictures that Connie took along the route.
Cuidad Rodrigo is quite a beautiful place! With a population of only about 12,000, it seems like a much bigger city. It has quite a history as a defensive fortification near the border with Portugal. In particular it has history with some Napoleonic battles.Baca selengkapnya
