A Really Rural Village

In days, we are now over halfway. Today we completed our 17th walking day and there are 16 walking days left. In terms of distance we have completed 247 miles, with 237 miles to go.

Today's route was flat, featureless farm land, with little shade and a 60m rise over the last mile. The first town we came across was 10.5miles in, so an enterprising person had set up a food truck about 5 miles in. The lack of shade is fine at the end of September, but I certainly wouldn't fancy it July or August with temperatures getting over 30 degrees.

Today we stayed in a small farming village, I'm not convinced it would still be here if the Camino didn't go through it. A number of the properties were built using mud bricks, made of mud, straw and stones. The place looked deserted, there were no shops, or bars or restaurants, only a couple of hostels. So I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the place we were staying in was really nice and we had quite a modern room.

Having a beer outside the hostel, in the afternoon sun, we met Matt, an American bloke we had met on the road on our 2nd day and 4 other people we had dinner with in Atapuerca. It's a small world if you follow the guide book.
