Ledigos

A good part of the day's walk was along the Roman road known as the Via Aquitana. It has been covered with gravel but the foundation has survived.

There were some trees along this road and the shade was nice. The weather has been sunny and warm.

I also passed a field in this area where 40,000 soldiers under the command of Charlemagne died in battle with a Muslim army. Legend has it that trees sprouted from the lances of the Christian soldiers left on the field.
