We started the day bright and early, just before sun up and followed the trail out of Belorado through wheat fields, and through a number of small towns and over rolling hills.At one of the villages there is a fountain, where if a pilgrim puts there head in they will have the strength to complete the journey to Santiago de Compestala, there are fish in the fountain as I found out.
Until we got to VillaFranca Montes de Orca, where stopped for a break, had something to eat before tackling the climb out of town and up into the mountains. We reached a peak of about 1000metres, and the climate cooled and it was quite pleasant walking through the trees.
The scenery was very much like walking through the Macedon ranges. There were a couple of challenging bits, that were quite steep.
We had to walk a little extra this day as the accommodation was another 4km past San Juan de Ortega, through more sunflower fields.
