Santo Domingo to Belorado

Trying to catch up on the blog after several challenging and tiring days...

On Tbursday, 5 May we walked the 23km from Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Belorado. 

Here is our group leaving town.

On the way we visited a lovely church in Granon that had this stained glass window of a pilgrim 

Then we crossed the border into Castile again. Can't say what a difference the dry weather makes from the 9 day wet patch of our previous trip.

Belorado was a very town from the quiet and spooky place we stayed at 3 years ago, with lots of new alburges, a 7pm mass in a lovely church, and newly refurbished homes and paint jobs all over town. Even the dark "Bates Motel" we stayed at before was lighter. The below is the bridge at Belorado.
