An easy 19.6 km (12.3 mi) got me to the next 16-bed albergue where I again saw many of the old familiar faces. Today I can comfortably say that I'm coming home this month. On the way out a block away, I stopped for breakfast and had to take a picture of the newly prepared pinchos. The other three pictures of the baroque church Iglesia de San Martín, en Cigüenza fascinated me how it just appeared over the horizon.
Mostly gently rolling hills except for brief periods of steep ascents moved me along the way. At Comillas, we encountered one of the last crowded vacation beaches. The picture I took includes a beach with rip currents and warnings against swimming, but the one next to it had many bathers.
I suffered an attack of itching last night on toes and arms and couldn't figure out what had caused it until today: probably a mix of bed bugs on the toes and heat rash and flying insects on the arms. Some others had also complained about the bedbugs! I bought more cream thinking that my Cortizone-10 Plus had lost some effectiveness because it's been subjected to heat. It was a miserable couple of hours and tonight is starting out itchy again.
The upper two pics of the second quad are the albergue and the lower two are of the Comillas church both exterior and interior.
