Central Switch

The walk yesterday, from the coastal to the central routes follows the Santa Clara Aqueduct that brought water from the hills to a convent of the same name.  Built around 1700, it was modeled on Roman structures. Much of the Camino here is on old Roman roads.

The central is rural with farms, fields and small towns. I was happy my rain gear checked out, although not as elaborate as the walkers in the distance.

The weather improved by the time I got to the hotel, and I was surprised by lemon trees in the garden.

Part of today’s walk was through a eucalyptus forest, which smelled great, emptied into a vineyard and passed by an odd hay field.

Always like spotting the way-markers.
