[QUOTE="Nastucha, post: 558596, member: 67405"] Day 8 & 9. Nava de la Asucíon-Coca(10km)-Alcazarén(24.6km) On the first stage from Nava we walked only 9 km to Coca. Thus was partly because my fellow pilgrims wanted to meet their friend who missed the last 2 days due to an injury ahd I was also happy to test my legs. We had a late start (about 9:30am) and a lazy walk , so we reached our destination just before middday. The albergue was really nice and comfortable. There were no other pilgrims that we had share the albergue with (speaking about "deluxe" accomodation again), although there was some talk of someone coming on a horse...probably a joke. Coca castle was nice, but I couldn't find much information about it availible in English, so my visit lasted for about 15 minutes. There was also a St Nicolas tower, which has, apparently great views over the valley, but it wasn't open during our visit. On the next day, most of the walk to Alcazarén was very pleasant with pine wood forest providing a bit of shade I the afternoon. The weather has been very nice so far. If only a little hot sometimes, but nothing much to complain about. 2 of the ladies from the group decided to take a taxi to the next town. This was lucky for us, as they were able to get some provisions in the supermarket (on Saturday it closed at 2 pm and did not reopen in the adternoon). This is, I think, one of the disadvantages of walking in autumn: due to shorter days, you are unable to reach some places before they close for siesta, and on the weekends this might be an issue... There was much talk of breathing techniques for walking at dinner last night and someone came up with an "Afghan breathing" that involves taking one breath in for 3 steps holding for 1 and breathing out for another 3...Ot will be put to a test today It's a nice cool morning and we are off to Puente Duero now!
