Still limping so did the short 20km walk from Fromista to Carrión de Los Condes. The alternate walk takes you by the rio Ucieza where you walk through stands of trees with plenty of shade and listen to the many birds and frogs making their sounds. If you stop for a while they get much louder. Lunch was at Villalcaźar de Sirga leaving the short 5km into Carrión but via the pathway designed (Sendo) by public servants, utilitarian by the road, shadeless and soulless and hard on your feet.
