17/4
Wednesday in Semana Santa is total relaxation for me.
It looks as too many peregrinos is going for Santa Marta de Tera (which also was my plan). I have four extra days I need to put in, so I reach Santiago the day before I’m flying back to Copenhagen.
Conclusion: I walk only to Villanueva de las Peras, some 14-15 km. The albergue is perfect and so is the bar/restaurant in the pueblo also.
Although the pueblo is called Villanueva it is not everything here which is new.
This is a photo of the red-yellow mud which is so wonderful to walk on when dry. But very awful when wet – in seconds you have 2kg mud clinging to your boots.
