Villamartin to Soldón Pt 2

I was walking through the tiny hillside town of Montefurado and noticed that the church was open. This is rare on the Camino Invierno so I took the time and went inside. A local lady showed me around. It dates to the 18th century and has both Baroque and Rococo features. As well as the local red stone. Fascinating!

This is the third day of not seeing pilgrims, but I did talk with a few Spanish people. And the church lady told me there was a Canadian lady there yesterday.

Tonight I am alone by choice. To break up the stages, I am staying at a tourist apartment. It is a bit more expensive, but I should rest well tonight. Even though it is right beside a railroad track and a highway overpass, it seems very quiet.

That is good, since I have another long day tomorrow. For some reason, the Camino planner I used underestimated distances. Now that I am here I can see the real distance. This Camino doesn’t have as many options for accommodations, so I will be doing a long day, unless I change my plans (which I often do).Read more
