Bercianos del Real Camino (10.1km/416.4)

A peaceful start as there is “silence” until 7am. The overnight stay was so relaxing. We only had a 10km walk so we went into the town centre for breakfast. Eventually we found a place that was open. Sundays are very unpredictable.
We walked at a gentle pace after a long week of walking (133km this week!) and 7 consecutive days. We have a couple more 20km days and then we will have a day off in Leon and slow down a lot from there.
We enjoyed a few phone calls home while walking. The only thing of note on todays walk was an impressive bridge at Sahagun as we left town and a quick visit to a small church (Ermita de la Virgin de Perales) just before the end of the walk.
The town of Becianos was very quiet until they all walked out of mass to go for Sunday lunch and it has the strangest bell tower I’ve ever seen - a steel structure that does the job but doesn’t look pretty!En savoir plus
