Soon I came to one of the most photographed spots on the Camino. Can you recognise it? It’s called the House of the three Pines, and appears in all the guidebooks as well as the very first photo on my blog. I have never seen it in such picture perfect weather.
On this part of the trail, various wineries have put up information boards about their grapes. This is one example:
This is the church of Santiago. In the middle ages pilgrims who were unable to continue their pilgrimage because they were on their last legs could obtain a Compostela and guaranteed entry to heaven without actually going any further. I am not quite on my last legs, so after another rest day I’ll be on my way.
Lunch spot. It was hot! In fact the high temperatures all over Spain merited a news item this morning “El Noche del Calor.”
That house is picture perfect.
