El Burgo Ranero to Puente de Villarente  - 25Km

The first painting on my return....so firmly was this place fixed in my brain.

It was very cold as I left the village in the dark, but eventually we had a great sunrise, the first half of the day was taken up walking under trees like the previous 6 weeks
(it seemed that long, but perhaps it was only 3 or 4 days)

Today's change was that we have moved from wheat to corn, and interesting irrigation systems....as well as tractors. Apart from that there is not a lot more to add in the way of words or pictures.

The evening was given some light relief as I met Denise from Vancouver, a happy and witty lady...but with a good insight into the human condition. We meet briefly in the dark early in the morning, while I was doing my 4Km fast warm-up march. Also again in the evening at the Albergue, where after fortifying ourselves with CCL+SB and beer we shared a home cooked meal.
