    Monastary Zenniar to Gurnica 13 miles

    April 18, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    I spent last night in a monastery where I felt as close to being a real pilgrim as I ever have. I sept in a room with 3 other people that had no heat. At over a 1000 feet of elevation it was cold. I went to Mass and then the Monks fed us free of charge, just like the did for the pilgrims 800 years ago. Amazing!! Their beer was sensational.
    Today I walked 13 mile to the city of Guernica. This city is famous for being carpet bombed just prior to WW2. Hitler ordered the bombing as a favor to Franco who was fighting the Baste.
    Tomorrow it's another 13 mile day and then on Saturday I go in to Bilbao and visit the Guttenheim museum.
