Stage 17

Carrión de los Condes to Ledigos
5h 50m · 23 km · 152 m gain
Another meseta stage on tracks between grain villages with little relief from sun or wind. Allow about 5 hours 50 minutes across open country that tests patience more than fitness.
Ledigos is a small hamlet with limited services - enough for a night but not much more. Carry water; fountains are spaced farther apart on this section.
