Walk out of Merida towards Aljucen was already pretty good. No big deal. Probably because it was hilly.
From Torremejia to Merida it was a complete s**tshow. Its very flat there. I doubt there were any pilgrims that did not choose the car road...

The shortest routes on Norte (after Bilbao) are usually highway style roadwalks. The deeper you get into...
