Day 15 – Santo Domingo to Belorado

Day 15 – Santo Domingo to Belorado

We got off to a rather late start, I think about 10 o'clock by the time we got going. The weather is really starting to warm up. For us it was a full day, 21 kilometers. We passed through some really interesting villages along the way, particularly Grañón. I...
