12.3 miles. The day turned quite nice, with no rain. A typical walk along cobblestone country lanes, with a few dirt and loose rock cow paths, plus a bit of pavement and sidewalks as we passed through a handful of villages. There was bit of mud and running water along the trails, but for the most part less than an inch deep. Best of all, there was only one substantial hill to climb and descend.
As from the start, the wildflowers were beautiful, as were the many flowering trees. Many of the small streams along the way were still running out of their banks from yesterday's rain, with small waterfalls and cascades gurgling beside the trail. Sunday morning church bells rang all around, mixed with tinkling cowbells in the bright green pastures. Hopefully I can get a couple of photos to post tonight.
We're now in Spain, and able to communicate better with the locals.
