Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Belorado

Today was a long day mileage wise. 14.55 miles/23.42 kms. I began walking a 7:15, the sun was not yet up. I was very lucky to get this snap just as it poked over the horizon.

It was a first for me, no caffeine until about 1 hour 45 minutes later in a small village called Granon. I did survive however.

I stopped to eat some fruit I had purchased in Granon in a small square in the town of Villamayor del Rio.

Onward and only slightly uphill today, I arrived in Belorado at about 1:45 this afternoon. Today I again caught up with the couple and their friend from Ireland; first in the square in Villamayor then in the cafe where I had a fabulous menu del dia.

The first course was a mixed salad (ensalada mixta) followed by chicken and fries, a glass of vino tinto, plenty of water with rice pudding for desert.

Sorry for the finished plate, I was ravenous!

Today’s town was a 4 stork town!
