Once you reach Lacs, it’s your feet you notice most. This wasn’t a day of steep climbs, just straightforward walking. Around 27 kilometres, well over 7 hours on the road. Put your rucksack down, take your shoes off and let the day settle.

Looking back, the Berry was just as it is: open fields, pastures and stretches of woodland, gently rolling. The highest point stays low, so your leg muscles have an easy time of it. The hard part is the rhythm. Hour after hour on the same road, with no big peaks to look forward to. If you hold your pace and eat well along the way, you’ll get through it smoothly. The landscape asks nothing of you, except that you keep walking. Take it easy, the Camino is waiting for you.

Tips for this stage

  • Plan a long break halfway; walking for well over 7 hours calls for a proper sit-down.
  • Take the first few hours steadily, and you'll find it easy to keep going in the second half.
  • Check your feet at your break; long, flat days quickly bring blisters.
