Twenty second day El Camino

A difficult day, only 12.8 miles, flat and straight. But breakfast was minimal, it was raining, cold, and windy for two hours, and the boredom of the relentless sameness of the path for the past many days had taken its toll. For the first time I wondered, "Will I be able to complete this walk?" Although we are past the half-way mark to Santiago, only tomorrow will we reach the half-way mark to Finisterre.

When we arrived at our magnificent Hostal Rural in Mansilla de las Mulas, saw our gorgeous rooms, had a hot, flavorful cafe con leche, we felt ever so much better.

Way at the end of the street, four grannies chatting:




Remnants of the old arch:





Go where the wind blows and you get shot----maybe:





Ancient ruin fitted with TV antenna:





Very very very old steps and wall:





View of grape arbors over the patio (from my window):




In the other direction, church tower:

Sweet little chair in the corner:
