Day 7 |
 |
|
Map is not to scale !
|
     |
|
A
cool day as we ride along the carretera past the many watering canals
that are abundant in this area of spain. Some of them look as if they
have been here for hundreds of years.
|
 |
 |
Just
outside of Fromista, we have our picture taken in front of the canal.
Fromista has a beautiful church (built in the 11th century) that is worth
a stop.
|
 |
 And
then the Camino and the carretera are side by side. Jeff rides on the
Camino while I choose the less bumpy road. The cycling is quite monotonous,
hardly any trees to break up the landscape.

In
Sahagun the refugio is located inside the Trinity Church. There are three
interesting churches, one of which has a pilgrims mass. Ask 'a que hora
esta la misa de peregrinos?' (when is the pilgrims mass) at the refugio.
If you get there early enough, the Benedictine Convent Museum is fascinating
as well.
