    Sahagún to El Burgo Ranero

    It was a nice short walk today, about 18km, with light packs in beautiful weather.

    Because of scarce accommodation in today’s destination town, we walked there and caught a taxi back. We arranged with the taxi driver to return us to El Burgo early tomorrow, whence we will continue forward progress.

    We left our digs at Los Balcones about 8am, with very light packs since we’d be returning later. Walking conditions were near perfect with cool, dry weather, clear skies and a light breeze,

    The path followed a rural road that bore almost zero traffic. It was a wide, smooth dirt track lined most of the way with shade trees, making for a very pleasant stroll.

    We saw extensive corn fields along the way. A couple of high speed trains zoomed past in the distance.

    We stopped for coffee at the halfway mark in the bar of an albergue in Bercianos, where we also met our English friend Steve and his wife, first met back in Alesanco.

    On arrival we had omelette for lunch, strolled up to admire the San Pedro church, and then called for a taxi back to Sahagún.    En savoir plus
