Traveler Lot's of action with tractors discing the fields getting ready tho. Very dusty!
Be sure to carry plenty of water on the way to Santarem. There is a long stretch of 16 km through farmland without water or places to rest. Try to stay at Hostel Santarem (host Mario). It's a great albergue and Santarem is a beautiful town with much to see. We had a rest day there. [Paul McLaughlin]
