Santarém to Golega

We got a late start today.  Our hostel serves breakfast and I wish it was sunny as the outdoor common space is spacious and so inviting. 

Today would be my first day in my new shoes that I clearly needed.  

But I am still needing to pop ibuprofen like it’s candy. Every 6 hours needing more.


Tons of mud, but a good walk. It was full of cork trees, cabbage, woods and road walking! 

We decided to stay at the local firehouse where we would be the only pilgrims.  Upon arriving we found out there was a nice supermarket about fifteen minutes away, so we added two kilometers at least to our day. They had Spanish tortilla! When we see it we buy up several, as most stores don’t carry them.

We stayed the night in an area behind the station with four beds.  We slid them together and slept well.
