Old Templer castle. Huge. Must have been beautiful in it's day.

When there is no tree, pole or rock to guide the way, they improvise.

Seen periodically. As pilgrims come along they add to it. Mine is the white/grey bottom middle.

Bom Caminho (“May your path be good”). In Spain it's Buen Camino.

Day 9 - To Tomar

10 septembre 2025, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

I walked 33 kms today. The most I have ever done. Circumstances favored walking (many stars need to align) so I kept going. Temp was about 23-24, but cloudy. You can imagine how tired I was in the end, but glad to be there.
The trail had some sharp ascents and descents. I went through a eucalyptus forest which was so amazing! Smelled nice, but not strong.
I bet that huge old Templer castle is exceptionally beautiful inside. Apparently a hotel bought it and making it into a 5-star hotel….in the middle if nowhere. 😳En savoir plus
