Torremejia to Merida

Torremejia to Mérida

Distance 15km (3.5 hours)

Seven peregrinos stayed in the Albergue last night. It was very hot in the dorm but we all had bottom bunks.
There was no real rush this morning as we only had 15kms to Mérida.
A few hardy souls left at 6am as they were planning on not stopping there and carrying on.
I had a leisurely breakfast and set off at 8am. Generally meandered the path and finally arrived at the Albergue at 11.30am.
Admin was quickly completed, which was just as well as the Albergue started filling up with VERY fresh peregrinos just starting their Camino.
I was out the door to see the famous Roman Theatre of Mérida. I even got a discount based on I was a peregrino....bonus!
The theatre was stunning and for you, culture vultures, I have taken lots of pictures.
The other news is that tomorrow morning I will be taking a bus to Salamanca. I have booked a hotel for two nights and am going to give my feet a chance to heal. It is a lot cooler North and I will restart on Monday.
Standby for more photographs from there.
And that was my 9th day on the Via de la PlataRead more
