Laguna de Castilla (16.2km /612km)

Now that was a climb! Not too long but steep and on some interesting surfaces including road, sandy path, mud, rocks and lots of cow poo! But thankfully mostly shady in the really steep bits. We climbed 2/3 of the “hill” to our accommodation to Laguna. Tomorrow we climb to the peak and onwards.
With hills we get beautiful scenery and some hard work. Too many pictures to choose from! At times we had to share the path with cows and horses! Before the hill the walk was slightly uphill along the river for about 10km to Las Hereirras where we refuelled with some coffee and cake!
We had drinks and dinner with a couple of people we met at Susi’s place last night, Clare (Wales) and Laure (France) and a lady we met today (Bea).
The villages and towns seem to be in much better condition the further we go with a lot more renovated buildings and active lifestyle.
On a personal note, today was my dad’s (Brian) birthday so we popped into a church on our way to say a prayer. Rest In Peace Dad ❤️, you would have loved todays walk.Baca selengkapnya
