Day 10: Torremejia to Merida

Miles 10ish

It was a very short day, but i made it longer by walking slowly and visiting with the Canadians. Nice folks.

Merida is full of old roman stuff. I’ll go out and see it after the sun gets less hot.

We’re over 200 km along already. It’s amazing and going by pretty fast.

This sign actually means: walk on the road unless you want muddy shoes
Lovely path today

Day 9: Villafranca to Torremejia

Miles: 16

Today’s walk was sponsored by: sideways wind gusts of over 20 mph.

Otherwise things are good. Tomorrow, we all end up in Merida. The walk is only 3 hours, so we’ll all have an entire afternoon to see the city.

Who’s we?

Day seven: Calzadilla to Los Santos de Maimona

Miles: 16

Another great day, even with having to wade across two streams. Wet shoes are preferable to walking 5 extra miles to get where I’m going. I’ve got the hostel to myself. Everyone else in my bubble stayed in Zafra.

Tomorrow will be super easy with only about three hours of walking, and I’m expecting to find a café too. It’s pretty uncommon this early on the trail to find morning coffee.

One week done, five more to come.

Pretty swampy at times
It’ll be like this for at least another week
Zafra
It’s a pretty nice town, lots of tourist stuff
It’s completely non staffed. You check yourself in and out, and clean up after yourself too
