• Day 11 - Ventos to Azofra

    August 25, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Today was a better day of walking. It was cool most of the day, much more enjoyable. Only one little climb out of a village that got us huffing a little. Still dealing with a head cold and sore Achilles but it was manageable today.

    We mostly walked through vineyards today as the landscape is wine country. In a few spots it had a feel of Utah with red rock and desert plants. We came across several aqueduct irrigation systems for the vineyards. At one point they were using a tractors pto to run a pump. Had a scare when Teresa rolled her ankle and hit the ground. She's okay, but we'll see how the ankle is tomorrow.

    Tomorrow is a long day so we're sending our bags ahead to give our legs, her ankle and my Achilles somewhat of a break.
