Today's walk was awful. Almost entirely on the shoulder of a major highway. A large part of the route has been obliterated by a new freeway that is under construction and parallels the highway. Being Sunday, there was no construction activity, so we walked part of the way on the graded bare dirt of the new freeway. We were happy to get the walk over with.
The old main highway used to pass through the center of this town, but the newer N-630 bypasses it by a kilometer. Though you can hear the highway in the distance, the town itself is almost dead. When the new freeway is completed, there will be even less reason to detour into town. Maybe by then the pilgrim trade will start infusing some serious cash. Tonight there are already 10 pilgrims in town. We've all got to eat somewhere.
