Castilblanco to Almaden de la Plata

29kms by car - No walking today. The hotel owner kindly took us by car to Almaden and got us checked in early to our hotel. It sort of feels like cheating but the fog/rain along the route was so thick and the park under water it made sense to stay safe. At the end of the day as another walker said “it’s YOUR Camino and you do what is best for you.”

We managed to get out for a brief walk round, spotting nesting storks on the church towers, certainly a safe from predators spot. Back at the hotel we had just got in before the heavens opened again.

Tomorrow walk is a long one 34.4kms - with several stream crossings which flood. We are awaiting confirmation of the situation but the forecast is currently 95% rain from now to 7am tomorrow - fun timesRead more
