Most unusual surface
The most unusual surface to walk on while on the Camino was a 1/2 km section of concrete that was 12 feet wide and 8″ thick. You could have landed a small plane on this section. This was located on the entrance into Redecille, which is the first village in the Province of Castile y Leon. A Province in Spain would likely be larger than a County but smaller than a State in the US.
i wonder if one of the politicians in this area also was a cement contractor. Cement is a hard surface to be walking in, and 12 feet wide was unnecessary! Some trees for shade, and picnic tables or benches would have been more appreciated.
