Thankful for cloudy skies today as we set out for what is said to be the hardest day on the Camino Ingles. Rain showers and 24° forecast, no complaints from us as we have all the kit to cope with a bit of rainfall.
Lots of small villages and rural scenes today and each village has an old church, mostly all locked up now.
Some road walking today.
Pretty village scenes and lovely roses which of course I stopped to smell.
Back on the track with this areas signature blue hydrangers lining many of the paths and gardens, the flower heads are enormous....they have good rural fertilizer 😊
Slow gradual incline up and up and up through forest tracks and farmland. Just a small spit of rain but great cloud cover most of the way. It would have been a lot harder in the blazing sun.
Refreshment stops are few and far between so you have to stop for food whenever you can. This one had great advertising, miss this one and it's 10k's to your next food and water opportunity.
Great spot to sit outside, take your shoes off and rest a while.
Long, hard day and we did stop at Bar Evangelina's which was 10k on. We were welcomed by the mother and daughter team and made to put our feet up on foot stools and generally made a fuss of. Wonderful caring senoritas. I left my empty sunglasss case behind and they dispatched an old chap on a motorcycle to catch us up and give it to me, what an amazing experience.
