Hills and Valleys

Early start today. The temperature was forecast to pass 30 for the first time since the day I arrived in Spain. I’m not sure if it actually got there though, but 29 on the road is still very hot.

I was on the road before 7 and many other pilgrims did the same thing so there was a steady stream of us leaving town and people to chat to as we climbed the big hill. We went up for a long time providing lovely views of the valley. Eventually we headed down into that valley and past rivers and streams.

After my second breakfast I was into the forest and onto the dirt roads. It did start to heat up after that. The heat is so draining. I was very happy to arrive in Salas where I’ll spend the night.
