Today we walked from Lorca to Ayegui. It was a short walk, about 11k, more of a rest day after a couple tiring days.

These are the signs we follow. Often it is just a yellow arrow painted on the trail, or a building, other times it is just the sign of the shell.

We walked through Villatuerta. Below is a picture of the bridge going out of town:

A kind fellow peregrine took our picture:

We have been seeing so many poppies growing wild next to fields! They are so beautiful. 

There are also all these old buildings, really old they are, churches, monasteries … they seem to be just stuck out there, and I wonder, why were they built there? 

I asked a Spanish peregrino today if he knew why people built so many large buildings in the past. He told me, “Because it was cheap. Now it’s expensive.” I would have never thought of that.

Walking into Estella, a town just before our destination, there was a large church building being renovated:

Below two pictures of the river through Estella, walking in and then out of town:

Our destination, Ayegui, was only about a k further on. Tomorrow we have a long walk.
