Santillana del Mar to Comillas 23k
We had lovely walking weather today it got to about 15 deg c the sun was out for the most part and it was a very comfortable day on the Camino.
We walked through some really lovely villages over some rolling hills mostly on country lanes with very little traffic. It was very picturesque for most of the day and we were spoilt for photo choices once again. We both commented that today was one of the nicest days so far.
As we walked along the country lanes and through the pretty villages we sometimes broke into song and had a quite a few laughs as the prominent song was 'I Would Walk 500 Miles' by The Pretenders. Fuzz likes to make up his own words and it can be really funny.
When we got hungry we sat in the shade of a tree on a rock and ate the boccadillo that the lady made us at the place where we had stopped for breakfast earlier. We were hungry and so we really enjoyed it and also the pears that we had bought the day before. We can't understand why the fruit here is so much nicer and juicier than at home.
We headed off towards Comillas and during the final part of today we bumped into our French friend from the Albergue from a few days ago. He said I reminded him of Doris Day. So of course there was much more laughter......Another great Camino day.
What an amazing journey. The people, the food, the landscape how amazing. Looks like the weather has improved. Love the photos. All the best, Adam
ReplyDeleteSo enjoying the blog!! It looks very beautiful. I am wondering about one thing. You are doing very short stages, is that because the terrain is particulatily tough or do you just not have any time constraints? It must have much more infrastructure than the via de la plata, I can't tell you how many times we walked 17 km last year BEFORE we even found a place for breakfast! Keep the posts coming, there are more than a few of us feeling very envious right now. In fact David is now talking about another Camino this September, even though we had decided to skip a year!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying the blog. We have some longer stages coming up. We did some shorter ones because we neededto get fit along the way as we hadn't trained much due to a series of events. The terrain was tough in the beginning but not so bad now plus we're fitter. The infrastructure is very good on del Norte. You'd love it. Wr highly recommend it.
