We leave our Alberque with its quirky sculpture-
And within the first cold hour encountered a rainbow ……
A stunning sun rise over the Canal Palencia
Which appears to have little interest in pleasure craft as this is its end – a rare sight in such a dry land .
Nice Nose decoration / only been awake 30 mins look 
We move on past hundreds of these Camino Shell markers on which a roadside philosopher has added his own graffiti ……
Past the best named village –
To village after village with random sculptures placed unexpectedly in the streets , ……
The harsh realities of Camino life are shown here as last nights washing is air dried ” on the run ” …..
Socks and shirt on Backpack , under armour on your arms !! All V effective .
The endless wheat fields in background .
And 25k later into ………
And get a great last minute multi room on Booking. Com as all Alberques full!
The location of the G & T below is seen from our window – Bar Carmen no less !!
Major Gin-age … 
Dinner at Los Cortes as good and Simone as ever . Tonight the wine even has a label – bonus !
