BSPSE Oia Spain

Heavy rain all night, clearing in the morning.

QB feet needed some wrapping. This has not been an easy or comfortable trip.

Crossed over into Spain via a ferry. 1.5 km long sail. About 15 or so others crossed over with us on a standard car ferry for 3 or so cars.

Then up and up to get to A Guardia a decent town on the Spanish border. A visit to pharmacy for more foot wrapping accessories and then onwards towards the coastal path.

Unlike Portugal the coastal path in Spain is rocky, off the coast but up high enough for excellent views. Really flat but not overly challenging except for injured feet and toes.

No services for the whole walk. Not a cafe or a place to stop after A Guardia.

Art on the way or it might have been an elaborate langouste trap. The sign in Spanish was comprehensive but unclear. Even a Spanish speaking pilgrim could not translate for certain.

Got to our small hotel, family run, no English, rapid speaking, friendly. Agreed to do our laundry! A treat.

Dinner, pictured, home cooked. QB mentioned that if she is to have a steak it would be better if Dennis cooked it.

For dessert we had a torte de queso topped with home grown Mirabelle fruit which is banned as an import in the USA. A type of plum from Lorraine France. The owner made marmalade out of it.
