Today the rivers and the song Nature boy really caught my attention
Apart from the ongoing challenge of the body – the right foot is coping better now – the left shin splints are making me conscious of each step – which is not a bad thing
Now at 1305m above sea level in the small village of Padornelo – lucky to get a room for the night – am sharing with fellow Peregrino – Graham
Rivers of this area

River Castro
Some geography of interest – The lowest elevation point of this Camino was in Zamora crissing the magnificent Rio Duero at 622m
Today started in Puebla de Sanabria at 936m above sea level – the town is between two rivers the Castro which feeds into the Tera – The Tera river in turn feeds into the Esla which in turn feeds the Duero River which eventually feeds into Porto in Portugal – it runs a long way and of great commercial significance
