Calm sets the tone today. The path hardly climbs or descends, and you walk across open country with a big sky above you. The highest point is over 850 metres, but you’ll barely notice it in your legs.
That makes this a day to find your rhythm. No steep climbs, no rush. After a good five hours of walking, you’re there. Mostly you hear your own footsteps and the wind through the grass. Chat with a fellow pilgrim, or simply stay quiet together. Then Alcañices appears. You walk into the town, find a terrace and set your rucksack down beside your chair. For now, nothing more is needed.
