One of the thing we like about walking the Camino is that is changes constantly. Here are some of the surfaces we walked on today.
This one is nice to walk on dry but a mess after a rain. It is the site of Charlie’s 2018 barbed wire incident.
This dirt but really mostly rocky trail was the surface for a few miles. Notice the rocks are placed so you can walk on them and avoid the dirt when the rain changes the dirt into mud. Unpleasant to walk on, dangerous too if you are not careful.
Love seeing the different pathways in this post and what great weather you have been having-at least in these photos. Very Camino-y! I especially liked reading about the Medieval Aganduru road. Love that stuff. My strongest memory of walking a “Roman” road in Spain was the walk out of Cirauqui. Just checked Brierley & my memory serves correctly. Loved walking that road & felt the ancient-ness of it. Thoughts with you both. Enjoy it! Wonderful Spain!! ❤️H
I remember that Roman road into Cirauqui, Holly. Thinking about the history while walking on these roads is pretty cool. I needed your love of history this time, Holly. I was pretty much cursing these medieval cobblestones. It was a very steep downhill and a struggle to maintain footing. And it seemed to go on forever. At least a mile I’m sure, maybe two.
