Today was similar to yesterday in that the path continues to be mainly bitumen and hard in my poor ageing feet.

Leaving the Albergue.
On the way out of Águeda

Once again, the way was largely urban . It’s like there’s a long strip of habitation stretched out along the highway.

I passed many large houses completely abandoned.

Abandoned mansions
Well OK, this one’s not a mansion.
Fishing for clouds.
At last, a bush track.

Someone has kindly provided facilities for pilgrims along this track

I stopped to photograph these miniature hay stacks and some people walking by tried to explain them to me but I couldn’t really understand too much of what they were saying.

At the albergue I’ve found many of the people I’ve run into over the last week. It’s a pleasant place run by the genial Jose who mainly speaks to foreigners in Spanish with odd bits of other languages added in.

The weather is cool and windy by sunny so I’m hoping my socks will dry !

Whilst a lot of the pilgrims ate frozen pizza heated up in the microwave, a few of us including Jose walked a kilometre or so to a restaurant for a wonderful and cheap meal . Jose was the floor show !
