[QUOTE="12-22Pilgrim, post: 1041164, member: 102318"] We are, with great hope and prayers, only 2 days from the heatwave moving on from Spain. Since the heat wave began, I see Pilgrims starting everyday the earliest they can (430-630 is typical) and stop no later than 1 (1130-1230 even better). The sun is not so bad through about 1030-1100. Many of us are getting into our destinations early enough that Albergues are not open yet, so we sit and drink water and have lunch. Yesterday I was running later (left at 615 and arrived at 130) but that was because I needed almost a 90 minute recovery break before the last 6km. So please think about where you might stop early and often - and if you will have to walk in the worst of the sun and heat to meet some goal you have, consider whether it is worth it. Per your point of staying outside of towns, I think that might be a good plan - the streets BAKE in the sun till long after 10pm and it was 37C late in the evening (98.6F) in Mansilla de las Mulas. Be safe. Sorry for no big post today - I took the bus to Leon after “sleeping in” (6am, LOL - the Albergue was almost empty of pilgrims) and had coffee with Italian, American, and Welsh pilgrims before bussing to Leon. There were two other pilgrims on the bus - they were taking a couple rest days while I plan to push on tomorrow. I toured the Cathedral, its museum, San Isadore, and walked around the city while the temperatures were nice. I then took a nap - I have been sleeping poorly in the heat - and have been rehydrating constantly. I am now headed out to find some food, a Pilgrims’ mass and blessing, and some other sites. Leon is beautiful and I am very happy I have had time to explore a bit already. Buen Camino! [/QUOTE]
