Today’s route was the first on the dreaded sendas, which are pilgrim paths that run aside main roads. Thankfully I got good advice and took an alternate “mystical” route that ran along the river Ucieza. Amazing vistas that spanned all the way to the mountains.
I stopped to rest at the hermitage of Our Lady of the River (solo building w bench). Such a peaceful place.
I made it to C in time for a quick snack before taking a siesta. After that I stopped by the 11thC San Zoilo Real Monasterio (photo, ornate wall), which is now a museum and posh hotel. I couldn’t go inside because everyone was on vacation. Seriously, that’s what the sign said.
More good weather is forecasted for tomorrow’s walk.
