Set off at 6:30 as the sun was rising
View ahead and yes there is a white road going up the hill that I have to take. But not as bad as it looks .
View back over the valley from halfway up and then a long stretch head
Down into the valley the other side
Farmers were using sprinklers on the fields. This group of cyclists were coming up behind me but the temperature was 22 by 10 o’clock so no one minded getting a little damp
More stalks on the church in Boadilla Del Camino
A long walk beside the Canal de Castilla which provides water for irrigation


Not sure how you manage to walk in that heat. Hope the blisters are healing. Plenty of time for peaceful meditation – I expected the roads would be busy with pilgrims.

The first week was very busy but quieter now. There still tends to be quite a wave leaving the popular staging stops in morning but they usually spread out after a n hour or so

Celia is right. It looks amazingly peaceful. I expected there would be more people alongside you as you walk. The solitude of walking so far in such beautiful places seems very tempting now.
Have a good day tomorrow
