Trabadelo - Casa Susi

The morning was cool and misty, a wonderful temperature for walking. This area is a lovely wine region in a mountainous micro-climate. The scenery was astounding! There were cherry trees full of fresh ripe fruit, and I tasted one or two with just a little guilt. Passing through the village of Villafranca, there was a market with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and I was able to properly buy a couple of handfuls of local cherries - yum! The weather held out until about 1::00, but then as the route followed alongside a busy roadway the rain started to come down. Big semi trucks wizzed past and sometimes splashed big waves of water onto the walkway. I mostly avoided it, but one splash caught me just a bit and it made me laugh hard. I was already wet so it didn’t matter, really.
Made it to Casa Susi before 3:00 and now am dry and settling in. Fermin said he would light the fire soon.Read more
