Recap of Camino Primitivo, Day 2

 Hello, everyone.

I had intended to post earlier, but after making "save for web" versions of pictures, got distracted. So here it (finally) goes.

We left Grado and walked to Salas. Salas has a museum in an old fortified tower and a church and several places to eat and to sleep. We visited the museum and the church was closed up before we emerged so we didn't get to visit that.

The fall flowers in northern Spain are nearly as impressive as the spring flowers.


Fuschia blossoms along the way















Nasturtium blossoms--nasturtiums are said to be edible in a peppery sort of way, but I have never tried them.




Entering the town of Salas at the end of the day. Rain was threatening but there wasn't much when it came.


From the museum, which is operated by a university if I remember correctly:

This was a model of the church that was build here in the ninth century.

A timeline of the history of the church, which as y'all can see was next to the model.

The museum exhibits were interesting and informative, at least if you like history as we do.
