12.5 miles (20 Km) We left Fromista after quite a noisy night, with fireworks, although it wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be. It was a pretty hot day. After a couple of miles there was an option to stay on the road or take a path next to a river that had a bit of shade, so we opted for that even if it added 1Km. We were able to stop for coffee after about 9 miles in Villalcazar de Sirga, where we sat across a 13th century church. From there the Camino ran next to the road, with no shade at all. Carrion de los Condes is a bit larger of a town, but not much is open today as it is a regional holiday. We’re staying in an old monastery, which has been turned into a very nice hotel.
