LIVE from the Camino Tip for taking a real rest day

Time of past OR future Camino

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!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
