Yes...it was a very short walk...didn't even raise sweat even though there were some steep ascents and descents. The hardest part of the day was carrying our packs and climbing up 4 flights of stairs. That got our heart rates up. Then we went down 4 flights to lunch and for errands and up 4 flights. Then, after showers, laundry ( and using the blow dryer to help dry our clothes), a short nap, catching up on my blog and my journal, it's down 4 flights of stairs again for dinner ( Galician Soup and vino). We definitely got our exercise.
I saw a car wash.. Spain version....the car sat still and the washing mechanisms moved back and forth over the car. Very cool!
I hear quite a few complaints about the food along the Camino. It isn't gourmet, that's for sure. It's plain food that the people of rural Spain eat. When on Camino, a pilgrim passes through tiny villages, towns and hamlets where simple people of Spain live and work. In the larger, more sophisticated cities like Burgos, Leon, Barcelona and Madrid, you'll find more sophisticated food.
But, is that the reason for being on Camino? I love the Spain I walk through on Camino.
