No steep climb today, no river to cross. Today is all about distance and patience. You’ll cover some 23 kilometres of open, rolling country, where the hills stay small and the horizon stays big.
The path rises and falls gently, never for long enough to break your rhythm. That’s what makes it deceptive: there’s nothing to pull yourself up on except your own pace. Walking for more than six hours feels long when the sun is watching. Take more breaks than you think you need and eat on time. Aguiar comes into view without any big finale; the last stretch simply runs on. Set your pace early and hold on to it.
