This day asks very little of you. It’s an easy stage, with slightly more descent than climbing and a little over 5 hours of walking. The only real work comes at the start: getting out of Vitoria-Gasteiz takes time, because you cross the whole city before the greenery returns.
After that it gets peaceful. Open landscape, few people, space to think or to not think at all. Along the way you leave the Basque Country behind and walk into the province of Burgos. You hardly notice a border like that, but it still feels like a step forward. You arrive in La Puebla de Arganzón with energy to spare. A good day to do your laundry. You don’t get a day like this very often, so enjoy it.
