To Calzada de Bejar 20km Stage 12

September 23

We left our Albergue with Linda, and Michael catching up to us a few hours later. The trek had a gradual elevation gain this morning going through the picturesque town of Banos de Montemayor, hosting the Roman  baths. Unfortunately we only had time for a coffee break. And how friendly the locals where towards us, some older men giving advise on which trails to follow. We decided to follow the guide book. Hard to believe we were walking on paths built by the Romans over 2000 years ago. The large stones are uneven now and many of the markers on the sides of the path are still standing today, but thousands of people walk this ancient path each year. It was another fantastic day that ended with a group dinner at the Albergue. It was also Linda's 67th birthday and our host and husband celebrating their 19th anniversary.
