Camino Francés
9.3 km, 63 m up and 38 m down, through 1 place, 1 of which has somewhere to sleep. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Calzadilla de la Cueza. Most are too small to sleep in — a fountain, a chapel, a bar that may or may not be open — but they are what the day is actually made of.
Several route variants exist between here and Ledigos (6.2 km). A stone marker at the edge of town indicates the options. Most detours take you further into the hills and away from the road — they merge back to the main route before Ledigos. The terrain is open and gently rolling.
The camino continues along a straight track through flat farmland to Terradillos de los Templarios, about 3 km ahead.
The walking to Moratinos and San Nicolás del Real Camino continues flat and exposed across the meseta. The province of León begins ahead.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 72 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 9 km.
