Sahagun

Day 21 Sahagún
Distance from Calzadilla to Sahagún 23 kms

It has been 3 weeks today since we started walking the Camino and have reached halfway - 400kms.
The sun was shining temperature reached 21c the path was flat orange blossom filled the air and the terrain a joy to walk through. The sound of the cuckoo calling through the trees.
The little caves (hobbit like dwellings as we call them) we passed by are called bodegas and were used for food storage wine presses barrels and bottling vats and some local families still use them today. We stopped for a delicious goats cheese salad and freshly squeezed orange juice in a tiny village before walking on to Sahagun.
A small town with quaint streets and churches dating back to the 10th Century some with little remains. One of which we acquired our credential for reaching the halfway mark we were delighted to have made it this far.
We were fortunate to catchup with Camino friends late afternoon and finished the day with a dish of pulpo (a Galacian dish of octopus) grilled and served with a potato purée washed down with a local white.
What a glorious day.Baca lagi
