Azorfa to Castildelgado

The church bells struck 6 just as we set off on our way today. Our aim was to get some kilometers under our belt before the searing Spanish sun got up at 7am.

We had a delicious breakfast of French bread and eggs, tortillas, and hot coffee on the way.

Today, we walked through many towns and open countryside. The countryside was all wheat and a few vineyards. Spain is mainly an agricultural country. The larger towns were a little more populated today being a Saturday. Again, many of the smaller towns were airily empty.

We checked into our albergue at 3.30pm, early for us. We managed to have showers, do laundry and park ourselves with cold beers and nacho chips in a fabulous walled courtyard by 4.15pm; bliss!!!

We have just met Jurgen from the Netherlands who left his front door two months ago, walking all the way to Santiago a total of 2300 km...it will take him another month.
