Camino Day 9


SANTO DOMINGO DE LA CALZADA TO VENTOSA – 34 miles return

The scenery of vineyards and olive groves has become so commonplace that we barely notice it as we cycle along.

It was a hot day today, 28 degrees by 4pm, so we set off at 9am, earlier than usual, to get back for Jessie by 1pm, before the camper got too hot.

Our campsite is huge, but there’s just ourselves and a Dutch couple here. Besides camping pitches, there are also lots of chalets and interesting cabins and a water flume with three shoots that end on concrete 🫤
