Not having a lot of luck uploading pictures at the moment, so I will write and see what I can do later. 

Currently sitting on the top bunk of a dorm in a place called Ategui, a modern suburb of Estelle. I have been booking my accommodation the night before, as things are still pretty busy, and I do not want to get caught out. Lots of stories of taxis to next accommodations etc. This means it is a bit of pot luck. I did have the luxury of a single room last night, a bargain €35. Bliss, I slept 9 hours. Tonight is not so good. A Municiple augergue.  Plastic mattresses and pillows with  'hygenic' papery cover. There are other dorms which are full, but as a late arrival, in this one, it is just me and two German blokes. I think I will go for the eye mask and ear plugs. On top of this, no food. I have had a wonder round, a glass of wine, a bag of crisps, and some chocolate wafers. The vast tortilla bocadillo at lunch time is a distant memory. 

Otherwise, today's walking has been beautiful. More agricultural land, but always the huge spaces and big views. This morning I came across Ivan, with a pigtail down to his legs. He is creating alovely 'resting place,' in his olive groves. Had a couple of slices of juicy melon. 

It was another hot day, and close to the end of the walk, when very sweaty and dusty there was a 10th century, pre romanesque  church, sitting in an olive grove. I think it is St Miguel. It was open and the inside was wonderful, just plain stone, lit by a high window over the alter. The alter was strewn with written prayers, weighted with olive branches. I hope I can upload the picture.  Ot sure how far I am going tomorrow, booki g ahead for albergue is a bit tricky for the next bit. We will see what happens
