Green meadows, rolling hills and mountains that stay on the horizon all day. That’s what the stretch between Corconte and Reinosa looks like. It’s a long tale of climbing and descending, with the high point at just over 1,100 metres. The landscape is open and expansive, and you can often see the path stretching far ahead of you.

If you walk at an easy pace, you’ll be on the road for nearly 11 hours, so pace yourself. There’s more descent than climb, and you’ll feel it mostly in your knees. Take breaks before you need them. Reinosa only comes into view late on, a town in a broad valley. Then you’re almost there. Behind you, the clouds still drift over the mountain ridges.

Tips for this stage

  • Set off at first light; the walk will take up nearly the whole day.
  • Go easy on your knees on the long descents, with short steps and walking poles.
  • Pack food and plenty of water in your rucksack before you leave.
