Calzadilla de la Cueza to Sahagún

Day 36 Sun 27 Apr
Today was cold and clear, pleasant walking in the sun and only a light breeze.  We were enjoying the strange solitude …. until somehow we got caught up in a large group of very boisterous day walkers.  Oh well such is the Camino.  Calzadilla de la Cueza to Sahagún is 20 kilometers and the path rises and falls with bends and a few villages to keep it interesting.  Sahagún is a wonderful old town, full of beautiful Mudejar (Muslim techniques and styles in Christian Spain) brick buildings.
