I finally found other pilgrims at the albergue, meeting a woman from Taiwan and a Welsh man, both in their 60’s. I was to meet with them that evening as well.
A lovely start to the day. Red sky in the morning resulted in some thunder and rain at about 15:00.
More Roman distance markers aside the route that ran mainly straight for the initial 12km. I avoided an option to climb a high point with views, instead sticking to farm tracks and “C” roads.
No coffee or breakfast stops today. I did not run stages together as I wanted to continue with the other pilgrims now I’ve finally met.
Finally some art in Morille, today’s destination. Several murals and sculptures around the village.
It must be hard go these small villages to support local services. This one has a library a gallery and a municipal albergue although its single bar is often closed and the one tiny shop has restricted opening hours.
Tomorrow is destination Salamanca. The guide tells us it is the 1/2 way point between Seville and Santiago de Compostela. I hope to stop for 2 nights in Salamanca as it a big beautiful city. I need to decide to either continue the Camino or take advantage of the direct rail line to Madrid, for an easy return flight.
