Buenas tardes! This morning we left the town by walking over the “Queens Bridge” (the wife of the benefactor of Puente la Reina, Dona Mayor, commanded the magnificent bridge, spanning the river Arga, built to support the safe movement of the increasing numbers of pilgrims). The trail led us through quiet villages and in between fields of rye and barley as well as some grapes and olives. We also walked a good part of the 2000 year old Roman road bordered with sweet smelling honeysuckle, blooming rosehip in white and pink and clumps of poppies. My blisters really appreciated the Roman road. Both of us are very tired tonight.
