Day # 7 28/5 / 2014
Lorca to Villamayor
Now folks I don't like to whine
So today was almost divine
At a local Bodegas
Which we did not pass
Cause the tap outside gave free wine
Today the rain is back and while that might seem bad, walking in the rain (Butch Moore 1965) is not so bad. At least we stay fairly cool. (note to JOD... I found out I do sweat - a lot!). we left this morning, heading for Villamayor.
Villamayor is a municipality located in the province of Salamanca, Castile and León, Spain. According to the 2008 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 5,808 inhabitants.
The trip was uneventful but not without several climbs which did slow us down considerably. I was still feeling a little under the weather but we managed 18K
We had coffee at Estelle which is quite a large town relative to many we passed. I'd have to say the highlight of the day was Bodegas Irache which had two taps; one serving water and the other serving wine for pilgrims... foc! (See picture below.) We arrived in VM feeling pretty good and are looking forward to a nice meal later. Fran & I were not too tired after today's walk
Maybe we'll get the hang of this yet.
The meal was great. .. I'm still suffering from Montasuma revenge. Hopefully tomorrow will finish that.
Filing water bottle. .. didn't know the next one would be serving wine.
Mika and Derek: WHAT!?
ReplyDeleteThat would be the reaction to your mountain....nice work!
