Day 24 Tue 15 Apr
A dull day, weather wise and walking wise – 21 kilometers to Santo Domingo de la Calzada which is a lovely town. It is compact with many fine old civil buildings, well maintained – the best on the Camino so far. This is the place of the pilgrim and the rooster miracle (Google it).
Passing through Cirueña was a strange experience. On the outskirts is a housing development consisting of blocks of identical units in modern ugly style, mostly eerily vacant and every third one for sale. All this plonked on the Camino Santiago which is World Heritage – huh?

Day 25 Wed 16 Apr
22 kilometers on to Belorado, clear skies, warm but not hot so nice. A village every few k made it easy enough. We’ve now left the vineyards of La Rioja (but not the wine!) behind for the wheat fields of Castilla y León.
