We continue to move north. Today I will write less and post more pictures. A great day.
Weather: Low 40F High 72F
Distance: About 27 km, but it actually seemed like less.
Route Hints: About 12 km after Arco de Caparra the Camino meets the motorway. A bit later you have a choice of turning right for about 0.5 km on a nice grassy path to reach a Via Pecuaria. This is what I did, and it was beautiful. The other folks all stayed on the asphalt, and they say it was ugly.
Albergue: La Casa de mi Abuela is really nice. 15E with breakfast, and the stores seem to be closed for a 3 day holiday.
A beautiful morning.
More....
These looked like they might be bronze painted black. An eye catching ranch entrance.
On Sunday we'll walk over a pass to the left of the snow capped mountain.
Caught this stork leaving the nest.
Lots of beehives in this country, but very few close enough for a picture
We walked through the very symbol of the Via de la Plata, the Arco de Caparra.
Nice new water crossing, with one of the granite blocks already eroded downstream
I am fascinated by the square block water crossings....
