• Day 13 - Castildelgado to Villafranca

    Aug 27–Sep 1, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Today started a little rough for me as we had used all our ibuprofen and my achilles was pretty sore after yesterday. I gimped along until we found a pharmacy that was open. After getting some meds things improved, and the day was better.

    The landscape is all agricultural, mainly cut grain fields and sunflowers. We passed several farmers bailing straw in the fields. We aren't seeing livestock like we did in the mountain region of a Navarra. However, we did walk past a pig farm and saw several livestock trucks hauling pigs.
