Doors of Siete Iglesias

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

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.

Avila to Gotarrendura - 29 May 2018 23 km.s

Started my walk with Neil today from Avila. This is the place where Teresa of Avila better known as Santa Teresa lived.   We walked 25km to get me in the mood. Some of Neil's days have been 42km. I hope I don't do that.  Fantastic walking through the countryside following yellow arrows. I'm a bit stiff but another 10 days to go. Neil's already done 740km. He's bloody mad.  At the end of the day we get to this little town Gotarrendura We're told nothing will be open today. Who needs to eat anyway.  Then the guy in the town who holds the keys for the albergue decides he'll take us for a tour of the town.  It turns out this little town is actually where Santa Teresa was born and not only that there's a chook shed (dove shed to be more accurate where 700 doves perched) at the bottom of the garden where she was born. It's been there four over 500 years and Teresa used to collect the eggs there as a kiddy. How nifty is that.  The chook shed (Dovecoat) The ...
