Breakfast at this hotel consists of a credit chit at a bar across town, so it was a brisk before-breakfast walk for our toast. We could have had other things – like a tuna empanada, but toast, coffee and orange juice will do. It is cold with a biting wind.
Today was a rest day, so we didn’t go out much to give our feet and muscles a rest for the ordeal tomorrow. We sat in the Iglesia de Santa Maria del Camino (three retablos, one baroque gilded, the other two carved wood) for some quiet contemplation. The other church of note, Iglesia de Santiago, was reconstructed after being destroyed in the war of 1809, and is now a museum of religious art.
Vic talked me into the prestigious restaurant in town for lunch in an attempt to integrate some vegetables into her diet. I ordered the quail, and feasted sumptuously on two roasted sparrows.
