Day 94- Tue 26/8- Carrion de Los Condes to Terradillos de Los Templarios 27km
Another glorious day for walking early in the dawn as we leave Carrion after it's night of fiesta when the music, which was several blocks away, went on until 4am. After crossing the rio Carrion on an ancient stone Roman bridge the route is on the road for a while, with pilgrims strung out along a couple of kilometres all heading west. The way soon veers left onto an old Roman road which you wouldn't know except that the guide book tells me & there is a sign on a rock off to one side. It goes straight for many kms thru open fields and the occasional hill. Gravel to start then later rocky. It is 17.5 km to the first village where we stop for a coffee & something to eat. Today I am walking with an American & an Italian who I met a few days ago. It was nice to be able to leave town in the dark with someone although there seem to be many more pilgrims on this section than a few days ago. A long slow climb brings us to Ledigos for another short stop then it's straight on into Hornillos de Los Templarios which has connections to the Knights Templar. Weather is warm and sometimes sunny. Quite a bit of cloud cover today and a head wind all the way. Walking is done by 1pm do then it's time for siesta and journalling.
