Morning started beutifully with cloud cover. The start was along fields with mini iregation ditches between the road and fields. The morning noises are neat the water trickling and the birds singing. Hen tere are the freely frogs that croak as you walk by. When your use to being wary of rustling bushes it takes getting use to all the noises along the walk. Today there was a little variety in the fields. Some potatos and green beans.
A lot of the walk his morning was great country.
These vines are not as nicely managed as the ones in the wine region.
This seemed like an area where people left things that a pilgrim shouldn't have brought in the first place.
Lots of variety today.
After this place in the distance I had only a few kilometers to my destination.
Approaching town I met two girls fresh out of college from Louisiana. Had a great chat with them all the way into town. There was this bridge on the way in. Talk about switch backs.
Neat cathedral. I later found out that it was started in the 14th century and took century's to finish so it has many diffrent materials and architectures.
This is a house or something next to it. It has Gaudi's name on the outside but not sure if it's one of his designs.
Almost there.
I can't remember but I think is was my destination. But as I was leaving the last town I met a lady Terri and her grandson. They are from Puerto Rico. We had wonderful conversation so after a short discussion with my feet I decide to hike on with them to their destination.
It is so wonderful to meet people along the way, we had a great day and I'm very glad I decided to hike on. This bar called "cowboy bar" had a bartender that was a little nuts. But a hoot. We were talking about his hats and he said if he liked someone's hat he would kill for it. Terri had been in the bathroom and when she came out he analyzed her hat and said, your lucky I only like it a little. Terri said he is kinda like the guy Ramon for "The Way". I'll have to see when I watch it again.
Really have not seen many thatch housed roofs.
Looks like mountains in our future.
One last climb.
Yay we made it. This town was all up hill. From one end to the other never flat. Tonight I decided to stay in the hotel that Terri and Gabriel were staying at. We had a great dinner where I met her husband Mike. Although the scenery is great the people are the best part!
So tomorrow I don't plan. We will see where my feet take me.

Wow, I just love reading these. It's a little like a novel unfolding but the story is real. I love the photos. The funky church with different materials and architectures was really cool. The house labelled "Gaudi" was interesting too. I'd never heard of him but it's awesome whether he did it or not. I really appreciate looking this stuff up. I am learning as you hike! :)
Thank you, and thank you to your feet. I wonder, after all these many days, if they will really complain or if they are so used to this by now that it wasn't really a big deal? Hoping for the latter but if it was me I'd be expecting some swelling.
Ah, and the architecture and fields are interesting but the people are what make the trip. So happy you are getting to meet new friends on your travels. I do worry about you hiking alone, at least a bit. Safety in numbers!
