We just passed the halfway geographical point in Sahagun. That means we have about 240 miles to go. We are excited and looking forward to the next two to three weeks.
New countries of fellow walkers we have recently met: Finland, Mexico, Sweden,Norway, and Denmark.
For the past few days we have been on what's called the Meseta (table). It is mostly flat with little ups or downs. Wheat fields predominate as far as you can see. It has been an agriculture area for over a thousand years supplying grain for the Roman Empire. Today we have been walking on an ancient Roman road, although it seems just like a dirt road without many cars. Tomorrow we will walk on the most perfect stretch of Roman road left in Spain, following in the footsteps of Emperor Augustus himself. Our next big town will be Leon, which has a grand cathedral like Burgos. We will spend some time there seeing the city, then enter the Galacia portion of the journey which will be more mountainous. On we go!
Some more of our favorite photos. (Puente means bridge)
