We had a full 30 minutes lay in this morning meaning that we did not
get up until 6:30 and set off again in the dark but today the route started off on the quiet road and spent time passing through a lot of little villages so the route was easier to find. Our torches did scare a hare which was in a field to the side of us and we saw his as he ran off quickly.
Today's walk was a lot flatter which came as a welcome relief. A lot of it was on quiet roads (where we saw far more cyclists than cars) or wending around farmers' fields.
Today did promise two bars but (perhaps predictably) the first was closed. Just after it we came to one of the strange things about the Camino Ingles - what can be described as a sculpture park with a statue of Saint James as well as a sculpture involving tractors on a frame and two dinosaur models.
The next bar was open and we ate a welcome breakfast of tostadas with peach jam.
When we had last walked the Ingles today's walk had been our hottest so I remembered the road into Siguero as being never ending. It did undulate a bit but nothing compared to the hills of other days so we arrived in the city much more quickly than I had thought we would.
We did have a few problems finding our albergue but went in a bar to ask for directions. On the way we passed a bakery and so naturally went in there and bought empanada and cakes which we had for dinner.
As the albergue had a washing machine for which there was no charge we washed everything that we could and went for a quick look around the town centre but even if it had not been the day before Easter there would have been nothing more to do than to sit in a bar and have a drink.
After two days cooking for ourselves, and with this being the last day before Santiago, we decided to eat out for tea and got back to bed by 9:30.
