The Road from Santiago

  Sometimes you know a day is going to be dull. We are walking through a shaded road, the road is boarded by a fence which turns the wide open meseta into a slightly ratty wayside. First we must go across the A-60. The English speaking wiki thinks it may be built. It has been to some extent, at the Valladolid and Leon ends. Welcome to the bridge over the A-60. Coyotuco has reviewed it. It is a 5 star bridge. They say: It is very well built, with good space for vehicles and also reserving good space for pedestrians. MANDATORY crossing point of the "CAMINO DE SANTIAGO". Tomorrow we get a town.

  We need to talk about Coyotuco. They are my new obsession,. We have come to the first stop, a Pilgrim Rest stop and they are there, giving it four stars. The place is very good, it has tables and benches and great shade. It is on the other side of the road and quite obscured by trees. You can hear the other pilgrims passing by and they don't see you. The fault it has is the lack of water. A fountain would be needed, which apparently once existed, but it must have dried up. From here to RELIEGOS there is just over a kilometer of pleasant walking. I wanted to know more. They have done 452 reviews and put up 388 photos. Frustratingly clicking on the link to Coyotuco doesn’t give us any other places they have been or details so they will have to be a person or mystery. I am addicted. The next thing by the road is a monument, of which they say I like "CRUISES". Unfortunately, it seems that this has been vandalized by some "iconoclast", because it is hard to believe...

The ability of people to review things which, when all is said and done, probably don’t need it must have an obscure survival value. We have new things, well, for us, to look at today. Welcome to the ‘Area de Descanso para peregrino’ The first adds the extra ‘de Villamarco;. Villamarco os about a kilometre to the south and has a cafe. The first first review, of what is a nice stone shelter, open to the elements and with a stone table and room for six to sit is by Coyotuco. It has a good table and benches made of slate slabs and is covered with a good roof, made of good tile, which protects very well from the sun and rain. There is not much room for many people at the same time. From here to the town of "VILLAMARCO", there is a beautiful walk, adorned with old agricultural machinery, which is very interesting to explore. It seems incredible how things have changed in just a few years. Aramaty was mildly less taken Only 4 points because the virgin that was stolen is missin...
