Hermanillos Mansilla

25km no stops.  No where to stop if we wanted too anyway.  The route we took was 25km without a single village or anything along the way.  It was the original Roman route and they have some Roman way roads roped off.  We also saw some very ancient way markers which would not have been seen on the other route I don't think.  Still so much hay.  I am amazed that we have walked for days on the flat and it is all hay.  We finally came to a down hill and as we rounded the corner we saw not only our village in the distance but a view of the Pyrennes which are now only a  memory of days past.
The last 10 km to  Mansilla went on forever.  I have found that the last 3 to 5 km of each day go on forever whether we are walking 25, 30 or 15 km. 
I am feeling that this journey far surpasses anything else I have ever done physically and mentally.

  1. It really does sounds like quite a journey. Let me guess, the next trek you guys will want to take will be through outback NSW so you can finish up in Hay :-).
