DAYS 35/36 - RESTING IN BENAVENTE - TOMORROW WE CARRY ON!

Our enforced rest seems to be paying off and Ana Maria's foot seems to be much better. We have consequently decided to re-commence our journey tomorrow. The trek tomorrow should be around 30kms, which might be too long for Ana Maria. We hope to shortcut the route by walking partly on roads which should reduce the distance by some eight Kms. Fingers crossed!

Today we have been sightseeing in Benavente, where there is really not much to see. The building which now houses the National Parador used to be one of the most sumptuous palaces in Spain. Now only the XVI century Spiral Tower exists. It has a magnificent Moorish coffered ceiling originating from the former convent of San Román Del Valle.
