Sep 24
After 21 days of walking 376 km (226 miles) on the Camino in Spain, we have 424 km (254 miles) remaining. Most cities and villages do not have streets laid out in grids, so when we left Castrojeriz this very early morning, we were thankful for pavement stones that formed arrows pointing in the correct direction. At a later intersection in what seemed like the middle of nowhere we saw another arrow formed by a heap of stones. Other highlights- another beautiful sunrise; LARGE expanses of rolling bare fields (and little or no shade); an ancient six-arch stone bridge; granadilla flowers given the name ‘passion fruit’ because of the symbolism that Spanish priests saw in the floral and plant structures reminiscent of Jesus Christ and his crucifixion. Another wonderful day- thanks to all who are walking with us vicariously!
