Day 11: Pertusa - Huesca, 34 kms
After leaving Pertusa I was back on the same carretera I arrived on yesterday. And just as yesterday there was very little traffic. Easy walking in the morning. Today would be much asphalt at the beginning, but...
I'm currently in Melinda, but I got to witness an incredible show last week while in El Acebo.
After a hot shower to warm up and a satisfying dinner, I ventured outside my hostel to capture a few photos and was greeted by an astonishing display...
All best wishes for your walk. I arrived in Zamora on the VdlP in April 2023 and remember a very busy albergue and a memorable communal meal. I loved the whole walk and look forward to some more memories being revived!

Day 4: Monestir de Montserrat - Igualada, 26 kms
Today was the longest stage since I started, but physically it felt like half of the stage yesterday. Time flew by and I was in Igualada in no time. There were two places to have something to...
Day 3: Terrassa - Monestir de Montserrat, 24 kms
