Short walk today so only left around 9. We are still walking along the meseta, a huge area of northern Spain that is very flat and around 3000 ft in elevation. It wasn’t particularly hot today but we still found it quite hard going. I kept thinking of the film ‘High Plains Drifter’…. Goodness knows how anybody could do it in July / August? The road itself was laid by the Romans so must have had a few stories to tell. Hardly saw a soul today but had a nice blether with Wolfgang from Hamburg. He was quite a few years older than me but was obviously excited to tell us that he was meeting his wife in Leon and then she was going to walk to Santiago with him.
We are staying at a very old building that has been beautifully converted into a small hotel. It is run by Gemma and Leo. The hotel is full of old photos and memorabilia and Gemma kindly pointed out her great grandmother and various other long dead relations.
Lovely meal in our hotel, our host Leo is a chef and it showed. My main course of hake, with white asparagus and a lemony mayonnaise was exceptional. Ate with a well travelled couple from Madrid and had a chat with a Portuguese dad and 3 sons who were cycling to Santiago and on to Porto. Maybe a thought if you fancied a change to the golf trips George😅?
