After lording it up in a hotel overnight, it was back to the Camino, and what a pleasant day, no main roads!
It was a little chilly when I left at 0730h – I could see my breath. The quiet streets of the rustic village were something from a fairy tale.
My blister is looking a lot better and not giving me too much grief – I was soon knocking off the kilometres. My pace a lot slower as to not aggravate it.
The sun slowly appeared over the surrounding hills, giving some much needed warmth. I still had to put my jumper on in Oreña, after calling into a cafe for breakfast.
Then route continues along country roads and through little farm villages and eventually to the sea. Unfortunately the bar there was closed – it would have been a perfect spot for a drink.
After crossing a bridge and ascending up a hill, you get a view across a lush green plain with jagged grey mountains in the distance. Once taking a moment to admire the view, I pressed on into La Iglesia, calling into a bar for a ‘Kas Limon’ – also took the opportunity to air my foot.
The last stretch into Comillas was easy going, more rural villages and quiet roads, before long I arrived. It is market day in the town, and having lost my sunglasses at some point today, I went on the hunt for a new pair – none of the stalls or shops sold them!
I had a quick look around the beach then headed back into town for food. 22km today, nice short day to ease my toe back into walking, although tomorrow is a 28km section!
