Her, før Mansilla de las Mulas, var det 17 kilometer rett frem uten en eneste vannkilde underveis. Den eneste trøsten var at jeg gikk på et kulturminnesmerke. Denne veien ble etablert av romerne for ganske lenge siden. De trengte en kjapp og trygg rute fra Bordeaux til sølvgruveneved Léon et sted, og de kunne kunsten med å bygge rette veier.		Before reaching Mansilla de las Mulas you'll have to walk this 17 kilometer extremely straight stretch, and there's no potable water to be found anywhere. If it's a hot day, carry lots of water. There's not much to see, but you may enjoy the fact that you're walking on an original Roman road. They needed a quick and safe route from Bordeaux to some silver mines near Léon, and they knew how to build straight roads.
