Your legs will barely notice today, but your mind will come alive. Zamora falls behind you and the landscape opens out wide. Fields, plenty of sky and a path that seems to run dead straight. The climbing and descending is minimal.
Don’t expect much shade, so the sun will decide how the day feels. The walking comes easily and your thoughts drift. Sometimes you need a stage like this after the days before. At almost five hours of walking, you’ll reach Montamarta well before late afternoon. So there’s no need to rush breakfast in Zamora, and you’ll have time left over to look after your feet.
