Today's path followed a mountain river valley. It was a steady uphill but not too difficult. 


9th century castle.
It was already abandoned in the 12th century when the Codex was written.



Got to see an ancient roman bridge.



We are staying in a tiny picturesque village.  View from our room.




When you stay in these little isolated places you eat a pilgrim's meal.


A pilgrim's meal is a large 3 course meal of whatever the host is cooking. Pilgrims meals are about getting carbs for the next day.

Food quality ranges from excellent to "don't complain".

Breakfast is its own story.




...and so are tapas...
