594km to Santiago
Day#12 The inner-self challenged by the outer conditions of the previous day was rewarded with a blissful day.
After the storm comes a calm.
The writing on the wall (or in this case, on the sky): raincoats on... all the way!
576km, 575km to Santiago... Are you sure?
We got it! It's that way.
The countryside is always a balm to the soul for any peregrino. But rain and dirt roads always end up in muddy trails. Watch your step!
WOW!
Going up. Going down. By this time you're so used to the rollercoaster of the Camino that these hills are like a walk in the park.
Santo Domingo de la Calzada in sight. What a relief!
The old quarter deserves a visit of the weary pilgrim. Stroll around this medieval alleys and squares, appreciate the architecture and just bask in the moment.
Statues of Santo Domingo, founder of the town in 1044. His tomb can be found n the Cathedrlal, obviously we couldn't miss a visit to one of the most important benefactors of the Camino in the Middle Ages.
And while you're in the Cathedral, don't freak out if you hear a cock crowing. It's reminiscent of a legend which involves a pilgrim and his faith in Santo Domingo.
