MB is sadly following the Via de la Plata track on her phone and looking out the bus window. She wanted to get out and walk, but I assured her that more suitable terrain awaits us.

The bus ride is actually quite interesting. We’ve passed fields and fields, rolling hills, and a few towns.

Off the bus and walking into the city, you can see mountains with snow on the top. That’s the direction we’ll be walking.

We’re staying 2 nights at the Hostal Alda Casco Nuevo – same as last year.  (JK – This afternoon I went looking for that good restaurant but couldn’t find it. However, everything will look so different when 8:30 pm rolls around!)
