One of the quieter days on the Camino today, especially after the drama of the chickens in the church the day before. The path to Bellorado meanders through wheat fields and seas of sunflowers but also spends quite a bit of time running along side busy roads.
There is an excellent morning coffee stop at Granon which we have put a link to below along with a link to where we stayed, it's actually just outside Bellorado but has a lovely outdoor seating area in the shade and...a pool!!
Today we revisit our decision to not take a rest day until day 12 and whether that was as smart as we thought and we answer another listener question, possibly one of the most important questions that we have been asked by many people now. What's the bathroom situation on the Camino?
It's definitely more a case of be prepared!

Hotel A Santiago (booking.com)Where we stayed in Bellorado. This place is actually just outside of Bellorado on the road into town so you finish the day about 1km or so short of the main town but I'd absolutely recommend it! Lovely shady seating outside under the trees, tasty food from the cafe and even a pool to cool down. Rooms we simple and clean, no airconditioning but our room did have a fan and was comfortable.
Barbackana Grañón (google maps)Great coffee stop on the edge of Granon, had a really nice coffee and sat under the trees in the shade, absolutely recommend this one.
