July 10: Tricastela to Sarria
No balcony railing is complete without the cockle shellA simple church with a simple pointed arch. So lovely.We saw a red door way back in Pamplona, but that red door had a totally different significance. This one leads to prayer and quiet and tranquility.Another old fountainA student group singing in a plaza, offering an impromptu concert to those stopping to listen.Only the observant would notice this saint.Small streets, with many pilgrims gathering to walk the last 100 kilometers.Wall murals remind us of former timesThe ever-present shell performs many functionsWhat! A magnolia tree, and a huge one at that, in northern Spain? A reminder of home.A nice mural, which could be many things, but which I chose to think is showing the saint being brought home from across the sea.Not for the first time in Spain, I am surprised by how graphic and liberal the Spanish seem to have become.The river rushes past, making a small waterfall for pilgrims to enjoy.
