Today was designated as a short day with only 7 1/2 miles to travel.
One of the reasons we love the Camino is because we can typically schedule enough time on a daily hike to be able to explore the local towns and villages and get a taste of the local life.
Today was one of those days. With such a short hike in front of us, we decided to take a side excursion into Puente de Reina.
here we took a walk around town visited numerous local vendors and decided to pick up some wine, meat and cheese so we could enjoy a Traditional snack while on the trail.
When I asked, the farmers told us that they were cleaning the peppers to take home to pickle and use in their recipes
Homemade trail mix, fruits, and nuts
Unquestionably some of the biggest squash I’ve ever seen!
after a casual walk to our lodging, during which we stopped to enjoy a casual lunch of wine and cheese along with some fresh fruit from the village.
We arrived at our lodging just in time for dinner and have a wonderful meal and great conversation with the others at our table. Levi from Australia, Maria from London, Eden and Will from Australia, Thomas at from France and Daniel from Seattle.
We dined on salad and bean soup and (almost) unlimited wine A fine way to pass the evening with our new friends. Buen Camino.
