DAY 7 — Thursday, May 8, 2014
Finished our first half-stage of about 14.9 km (ca 9.3 mi) through beautiful olive orchards and rugged, undulating hills bestrewn with boulders of all sizes. Full stages are all well over 30 km (18 mi)--a little much for some.
Since we're now north of Fatima, dual pilgrim signs point in opposite directions: for Fatima in blue pointing south and for Santiago in yellow pointing north.
We're staying at the Residencial Adega Tipica (15 €/person) and downstairs they have a wonderful restaurant with traditional cooking. Just finished lunch--jam packed and a big city function going on next door at a large banquet hall with TV coverage.
A few pics along the way.
