A great day of remote walking with amazing villages thrown in. Gallipienzo Antigua high above the mighty Rio Aragon was a highlight - population shrunk and hillside littered with abandoned houses and farms, but oh so beautiful with its ancient cobbled streets and ancient churches. Total contrast was stumbling across a sort of fiesta at an ermita (old church) with perhaps a thousand people milling around.
Some fun finding our route at times and we ended up guiltily stumbling through wheat fields on 2 occasions, but somehow we did the 34km in 10 hours. I was completely zonked, Rob reckoned he was feeling frisky....Grrrrrrrrr.
We ordered paella in our hotel, the availability of which was enough to send Rob into raptures of delight - but then our host Fernando completely blew us away by bringing us small plates of delicious fish, a bowl of mussels, baccalau cheeks, and a baked pork rib - as well as our paellas. Seriously divine and we can hardly move.
