I live on the meseta. Everyone is rising early these days, to get the outdoor work done while the breeze is still blowing and the sun is low. It's downright lovely outside in the early hours, if a little dusty. If you have a face mask left over from Covid, think about wearing that, for your lungs' sake.
My advice to pilgrims is to be sure to wear a hat, or cover your head and shade your face somehow. I am always amazed at the number of pilgrims who expose their delicate scalps to the full force of July sunshine! Crazy!
Also, please please be very careful in farm fields. Most of the grain is harvested now, but there are still standing crops of sunflowers and some rye and oats and soy, and a whole lot of straw. It is crispy dry, and a HUGE fire hazard. If you smoke, do NOT fling your butts into the ditches! If you're camping, say no to the stove... and a campfire is right out! Even if you're just taking a break in the shade, make sure your glasses are also out of the direct sun. A trashcan caught fire two days ago in Castrojeriz, supposedly from the sun's rays concentrated through a pair of glasses that were thrown away among the papers!
