    10 hours, 33km Beauty, technical, ups and downs ( of course) . And did I say 10 hours?
    Some side notes: 2 glasses of 1.20€ for both. Food, places to stay all under 100 €/day.
    As we left the sunrise was amazing! We were already drenched 89 to 93 degrees depending on is there was shade and OH, or a blessed breeze! Poles, breezes and Caffee stops are my new best friends!! 10- 15 minutes I’d ask one needs to keep on track to arrive at your Alburgue.
    The walk along the coast everything worth getting going early for. Which by the way we almost missed. We dashed out after my auto 7am alarm went off as we had planned a 7:15am departure. Never have gotten up and out SO fast!
    The cattle seem to all wear bells in some fields. It can sound like a symphony of bells.
    We walked by one residential yard in the many villages we pass through and all the chickens came running toward us to ‘greet’ us/ hope for food? Then they just hung out. The rooster was not impressed.
    We hiked up 250m late in the 10 hour day and to be certain we were alert, Mother Nature put sliced rocks imbedded in the twisted trail. Trip hazards to keep us in our toes!!! No photos, the area was too technical.
    Tonight a good meal!! Perhaps, more photos of food. 😂
    Tomorrow, only 21km to Guemes. Treating our arrives to private rooms, Queen size bed, no bed bugs, pool, etc. 65£ per person and a short day!! Going to love it!!
