[QUOTE="alansykes, post: 971310, member: 9811"] San Ildefonso to Segovia A short day, at first going round a reservoir and then on down the river Eresma, very pretty. And then a slightly tedious slog beside a road and into the lengthy suburbs of Segovia. But eventually there was the aqueduct, where the Camino Complutense flows in to the Camino de Madrid. A memorable six day camino, especially the three from Torrelaguna to San Ildefonso. A slightly surprising advantage of slogging through knee high snow for a while yesterday was that it had completely cleaned off the thick mud I'd acquired on my shoes and trousers the previous few days down on the Madrid meseta. Heading under the aqueduct for the cathedral, you pass the statue of Juan Bravo on Calle Juan Bravo, before passing the Teatro Juan Bravo. I'd first met him in Atienza, his birthplace, a couple of weeks ago. They have a "casa donde nació Juan Bravo", clearly dating from at least a couple of centuries after his 1483 birth. There was apparently a big row when his beheaded body was returned to Segovia in 1521, and it was thought politic to bury him quietly with his wife in a village 20km to the north. I've never understood whether the Comuneros were genuine proto-democrats or just self-interested. Some time tomorrow or early the next day I'll have to decide which route to continue on. There is a temptation to slip over to the Levante and continue on the lovely Sanabrés which, other than the sections from Verín, I've not walked for several years. Or carry on north. The original plan to take the Teresiana from Gotarrendura to Salamanca and then the Torres seems problematic, not least in terms of time. Decisions, decisions. [ATTACH alt="IMG_20211107_195229.jpg"]112836[/ATTACH] A couple of km before San Ildefonso I bumped into a couple with a huge friendly St Bernard, but I'd already spoiled his chances of being "the faithful hound" finding me "half buried in the snow", and certainly not clutching anything with or without a strange device in my hands of ice.
