Another ugly day

Today was another whole day walking along a highway. In part, this was our choice. The Spanish government has clearly put a lot of effort making the Camino an attractive tourist option and so created various scenic alternatives along the way. At the clear urging of older local men we encountered along the way, we always chose the ancient route, even when ugly. The image is of a brand new pedestrian bridge built to take pilgrims over railroad tracks outside of Astroga. There have been moments of grace, to be sure, and we hope for a less cluttered and noisy experience soon. We're a bit sore but in good shape.
