Day 13: Grañón to Belrado

Relatively early start about 7:15. But delayed with problem of one hiking pole won't click into locked position when extended. May have to buy new poles in next big town - Burgos- and send the others to Santiago. A disappointment as they are so new. Walked about 15 or 26 km and passed several small villages with nothing open as wanted a coffee and croissant. The dog lying in the middle of the road obviously felt it was pretty safe. Belrado is a pretty little town ( pop 1852). Got really nice accommodation - clean and spacious and I have a single bed. There is even a swimming pool in the grounds. Walked here with Julie a 53 year old Australian who carried on to a village further along. After doing washing and having a shower have been spending time arranging route and trying to secure accommodation. Good news - after scouring internet found a solution to fix the problem of the pole not locking. Hopefully tomorrowI will be able to use both poles.Read more
