After yesterday's rain, the air is sooooooo clean! It's a pleasure to walk when the conditions are perfect.

Santo Domingo de la Calzada is one of my favorite places on the Camino.
Beautiful legends that still resonate today - chickens in the cathedral!

Small, lively streets invite you to relax and explore.
