You leave Campillo while the village is still half asleep. You warm up over the first few kilometres, with a long day ahead of you: around 32 kilometres. You’ll feel it in your legs before you’ve even got going.
The route climbs and descends, slowly working its way up to the highest point of the stage. There’s no single wall you have to tackle. It’s the sum of the whole day that counts. Find your rhythm, take your breaks and don’t rush. With more than 9 hours on the go, a brisk pace isn’t the goal. At the end, a public albergue awaits you in Fonfría. So set off early, and you’ll arrive in daylight with time to shower and do your washing.
