Easy pleasant walk to El Burgo Ranero
7 de maio, Espanha ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
An easy basically flat walk, 16 kms, along country roads today. Not spectacular views, but consistently pleasant and everyone we met in good humour probably because the weather continues to be perfect for walking. Cold at the start, about 5°, and fingers aching if not in pockets, but warmed up to comfortable but never hot. I actually wore my shorts for the first time this trip! …and put my hat back on..no wind…The path want beside little roads and was lined with plane trees to provide shade - much needed when days are hot, but at this season we welcomed the sun and walked along the road now and then.
We stopped for coffee/ColaCao at a bar and had lunch sitting on one of the many benches provided along the way…delicious cheese that we’d bought at Sahagun, crackers, apples and chocolate..arrived at 2 and easily found our lodgings - different one from our usual, but similar and good. When we arrived the man running the place was very busy doing lunches and drinks for many people and we waited, not being at all in a hurry. He was funny and joking and brought Rachel and me a lemon drink while we waited (Amr and Rich were getting provisions for tomorrow at the shop which was miraculously open)…the wife appeared too, and checked with us for dinner tonight as we are having dinner there…we hadn’t realised then but they close on Tuesday afternoons and dinner only available for residents, home made by her…so she gave choices one of which was paella which we chose and greatly looking forward to it…we could see it was one of the things on offer when they are open…
Still all very busy so we had a drink and serving of croquetas while we waited, yum, and finally went to the rooms…simple and fine…but not ideal for the washing I had planned with the afternoon sun - no plug - but just so peaceful. When we arrived there was a lot of talking and laughing and lunching but in the afternoon siesta mode it is all dead quiet. The towns always seem people-less except for pilgrims, but now even they have disappeared!
We went for a walk round the town which didn’t take long - up our street and down the other - and when you come to the end you are right out in the country again. Many fields neatly ploughed and waiting for planting - if they are all for sunflowers it will be a spectacular panorama of gold! Now back, downtime, sharing photos, Amr watching something on Netflix and dozing. All good.Leia mais
