Big skies, sweeping fields and rolling hills. The landscape today is wide and open, and you’re up high. You’ll notice it in the wind and in the light.

You walk around 24 kilometres and, overall, you descend more than you climb. That makes the day look tougher on paper than it feels in your legs. Even so, it’s almost 7 hours of walking, so don’t set off too fast.

In Aguilar de Campoo you reach a crossroads. The Camino del Besaya also starts here, and if you want to walk that route, this is where you turn off. So decide before you arrive which way you want to go tomorrow.

Tips for this stage

  • You're up high, so keep an extra layer close to hand in your rucksack.
  • Downhill dominates. Take the descents steadily, as it spares your knees and toes.
  • Decide before tomorrow morning: carry on along the Olvidado or turn off for the Besaya.
