Santo Domingo to San Juan de Ortega
With a day up my sleeve I decided to break the next two steps into three and try to regain my stamina.
The countryside immediately changed from vineyards to wheat fields, the farmers were spraying the fields with water which created hundreds of mini rainbows in the early morning sun and you could tell by the sky this was going to be a hot one.
The road was fairly easy going until Villafranca when I had to get out and push for half an hour at this point it was 35 deg. Everywhere there were fly’s and I got stung by a wasp sounds awful……
In fact I was really enjoying it the small villages were beautiful and I seemed to regain my Camino legs. I was planning on going to a town call Ages but 3km short I saw a lovely bar at the side of the Camino and it seemed to grab me in. Three cold beers later I had decided to stay.
This turned out to be a bonus as the nearby camp site was empty had great facilities and next to it a lake were I dived in for an afternoon dip. A perfect Day JJ
