The eleventh day: to Guemes

Hello, everyone.

We got up early and walked out of Noja when the sun was just up--our favorite time to depart. We walked along a series of quiet country roads. Some had red anti-slip paint on one side for walkers like us. Some didn't.

We made a moderate day's walk and arrived at Güemes around lunch time. Father Enrique runs the famous albergue there, which is in his old family home. When we walked up to the door, the hospitaleros immediately told us to come in and sit down for lunch. (Well, immediately after putting down packs and sticks of course.) They fed us wonderfully warm and tasty lentil-and-sausage soup. The weather stayed clammy and cloudy and moved on to rain after a while, but we were in for the night and it didn't bother us.

The picture is from the Ermita de San Julian, a sort of museum of pilgrimage and pilgrims in what appears to be a former chapel.
