As mentioned, after Baamonde, as one walks, one enounters a decision point.
The helpful map explaining the different routes.
Y'all will notice that someone has added helpful crayon-like notes to one side.
We took the longer side, because we could stay at about the midway point on the way.
These are the paired way marks, telling which one is which. It is really important to keep an eye out for this kind of paired mark, as otherwise one walks to a place that was not intended. We met a very friendly young lady in Tapia who had missed the paired signs and ended up walking at least 10 km extra as she had a great desire to visit the famously scenic albergue in Tapia.
The shorter-appearing route here is to be done in one day, while the longer-appearing route can be split.
Witericus feels like it's in the middle of nothing. (Possibly there is another access that the walking pilgrim doesn't notice.) This was our morning break on the second part of this walk. As usual, I had manzanilla and DH had cafe leche.
It was starting to feel like going downhill here--not yet at the rush that is the Frances when the Norte joins up with it, but still a definite feeling that we were approaching the end.
