I am taking a rest day today in a small Pueblo where there is little to see or do. Other than watching the European Championship Futbol/soccer match last night in a bar with the locals (both finalist teams were Spanish; both from Madrid), I have been lingering over meals and wine, napping, and reading my book. This, compared to my "rest day" in Burgos where I ended up walking as much as I have been on the Camino!

Some but not all, and other routes too.

Good for you, feet up, relax, let the world go by and charge the batteries for the next day.
You're right about walking as far during a rest day in the likes of Burgos & Leon, I never got a chance to rest the feet.

A fabulous UEFA final to watch with locals in a small pueblo, that's priceless. ZZ's debut as a coach had to be central to the discussion while you were watching the match.
