    October 20, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    I must apologize as I did complete the Primitivo however I am continuing to walk. I am not completely finished walking yet. I am now on the Camino Francis route to Santiago 27 km away but I am doing it in 2 days as I have had some rather hard days.

    Pouring with rain this morning so there are not many pictures.

    It did stop off and on and gradually improved towards the afternoon.

    I can't believe how many bars are on this section
    There are so many more pilgrims. The atmosphere is different. Some people don't even say "Hola" when you great them🤔

    The landscape is so flat now. I walked by an active logging site:
    Falling, removing branches, decking and loading. Unsure of the type of trees as it was dark.
    Very interesting.

    Beautiful scents from the eucalyptus trees.

    I saw my first pilgrim with a dog walking. It barked excessively at me..... The owner said it was a lovely rescue dog that sometimes does that to people🧐 It was part blue heeler so no surprise.

    I am staying at an Albergue that I stayed at last year. It is close to the restaurant with the excellent food. I met Stacey from Maine and Denise from the Hamburg area, and we went out for a fantastic dinner. Fresh scallops and the best salad with goat cheese I have had in Spain yet👏🥳 Delicious!!

    2 more sleeps until Santiago. It will be so fun as Denise, Stacey and I will see Mass together on Sunday. The botafumeira will be used.
