El Cubo del Tierra to Zamora

El Cubo del Tierra to Zamora
Distance 31kms (7 hours)

Last night was interesting chatting to Austrian cyclists, German and Spanish peregrinos. I had a great night’s sleep and set off st 6.30am with Roderosky Rodero.
It was VERY cold, around 4C. Although Roderosky speaks no English, we are clearly kindred spirits as we get by with my limited Spanish.
We set a 5km pace in the darkness. We arrived at a small pueblo at just after dawn and found that the only bar/cafe was closed.
The whole of the Via de la Plata is either loose gravel or road. The scenery undulates for huge distances. You are forced to ponder on life/feelings or distract yourself with music or podcasts.
We walked on for a few kilometres more before Roderosky shared his food with me.
By late morning, we again stopped for something to eat before arriving tired and foot sore in Zamora. What a beautiful city.
The Albergue is donation only but is next to an old roman church.
Lunch devoured, admin completed, I am out to explore the city.
And that was my 13th day on the Via de la PlataRead more
