Montamarta tio Granja de la Moreruela - 5 June 2018

Image
Leave Montamarta and immediately walk across a big lake that may well be water supply for Zamora. Just as we walk across this amazing flock of birds perform  a fly past to welcome the day.  The sun comes out to highlight this cute little building.  The little moments that fill a day. Walking is a simple process and in this context walking is the constant.  What happens around you is out of your control.  Could be great or it might be plain.  It's all part of the life of a place as you happen past.  An amazing experience.  Happen upon the walls of an old citadel.  It seems all that is left are the remains of the walls.  Pass this beautiful wetland. Quite surreal.  Always beautiful flowers adorning the way.  GRATEFULNESS My body has returned to some semblance of health.  25km went by without much fuss. The way the body heals overnight is nothing short of remarkable.  You become very aware of your body doing this.

Doors of Siete Iglesias

Image
As mentioned in the journey blog Siete Iglesias is a town where we didn't find too many people around.  I noted the impact of this on some of the doors in the town. Gaps at the top of the door coupled letting drafts in plus a makeshift design.  This one is finished with metal in the corners and hasn't been painted for awhile.  Again needs a paint and some work on the locks This one is definitely in need of a paint and a better lock.  I'm not sure what they were thinking here as they overdid the gap filler. Why paint the door and not the wall Perhaps the lintel needs some work This needs a good paint Perhaps too many locks here.  Imagine the keyring  Needs a paint as well as the whole building

Toro to Zamora - 3 June 2018

Image
We leave the wonderful town of Toro and head for Neil's stage 3 end at Zamora Neil on the bridge as we cross the mighty Duero river with Toro in background. Long first stage but nice to spend time walking along the river.  Sometimes track is more a suggestion.  Like, a tractor driver through here in 2012 so should be ok. Dead fox in the middle of the road.  This is irrigation country as its close to the river.  Lots of canals everywhere.  We actually found Eeyores house. Eeyore wasn't too be found.  I understand he's feeling a bit down.  Finally the bridge into Zamora. It's been a tough day for me.  36kms pushed my knees I've grown very fond of this symbol which is the symbol for the peregrino paths to Santiago de Compostela Zamora is a stunning town.  Looks pretty wealthy.  They like to get the plane trees to link together to make shade structure in the squares. Zamora street I have taken 26 photos of this god ugly head trying to get my...
