walked this section on October 10, 2019
Our 10-mile walk today began with a full buffet breakfast at the Parador in Santo Domingo. The first half of the walk was wonderfully scenic. We went, in a blink, from vineyards and harvesting yesterday to fields of grain and tilling today. Near Grañon, we wished we could take 360 degree photos of the fields and mountains.
The energy from the sky above lifted us up. The energy from the earth below buoyed our feet and legs. What a morning!

The second half of the walk continued with rolling hills covered by harvested fields. Unfortunately, the trail paralleled a major road, with abundant truck traffic. The road noise swept away the sky-energy and overrode the earth-energy.
 too soon, the trail started to near the highway |  miles and miles of road noise swished away much of the beauty of the hills |
It was hard to hold onto the morning’s glory. We got tired and sore.
Finally, we arrived in Belorado. We recovered quickly in a nice albergue and this beautiful, mural-filled city.

 that bench was too low! |  this is what a 49 euro room looks like! |  the shower was a challenge |
We had a wonderful albergue, with a great chef, and the city is full of beautiful murals!
