The guidebook said a hill after the coffee break. It didn’t say that it went on forever! The only good parts: shade and mostly soft path. There was even some logging. After the hill, the walk wasWeiterlesen

Just the two of us in the albergue, Nancy from Belgium and myself. 24 empty beds in the room. We had an excellent pilgrim meal for 12€. We were on the road before 8:00, just before sunrise.

More farming lessons: they put the corn harvest in pits, drive over it to flatten it, then put plastic over. Good cattle feed. Corn seems to be the primary crop in this area. Corn ➡️ cows ➡️Weiterlesen
