I started walking at 6.45 after quite a chilly night. It was misty in the morning and I walked 3.5 km to Villafranca where I had a coffee and a couple of small cakes for breakfast. I also watched the next installment of the running of the bulls on the bar TV with a lot of very absorbed locals.
Then off up the mountain - we only climbed about 300m so I can't say it was very arduous. It was nice sunny weather but not too hot. There were nice views and a lot of the path was through wooded areas with an interesting place to sit called the Camino Oasis. I arrived in San Juan de Ortega in the busy bar full of thirsty pilgrims at just after 12.15. I have decided to take a private room here and look round the church later. My feet feel like they need a bit of a break.
Today I walked just over 16km. Altogether I have walked over 250km or 150 miles.
