Finally left the highway and wheat fields, and spent the better part of the day surrounded by pine and Holme oak. I appreciated visiting the tomb of San Juan who made the lives of so many pilgrims before me more pleasant. This town began tending to the needs of pilgrims in the 800s. It was touching to see the devotion of so many pilgrims to such a great saint.

We walked 31 km today. All bones ache. At least no blisters. Internet is too slow to show all pictures. Here are a few for now.
