Hard yakka to Murillo de Gallego

This morning was really tough with not just big climbs and descents but rocky or boggy and/or ill- marked tracks as well. And it was hot. But the trail took us through beautiful forest and down into pretty valleys then back up into the spectacular red cliff landscapes where we are now. We also went through tiny remote villages where the population has dropped to one, or none. San Felices had a house with a huge conical chimney, part of a traditional oven.

Aguero is a bigger pueblo and is in the most wonderful location, with huge red cliffs - the Mallos  de Aguero - looming over it. Here in Murillo de Gallego we are once again enjoying the delights of a casa rurale after a hard 25km, 8 and a half hour day. Ahhhhhhh......
