Can I assume that those white birds with large nests on chimneys & on the bell tower are storks?

It seems that you are really moving along! If I’m converting correctly, 28 kilometers is approximately 17.4 miles. I believe you are walking El Camino Francés, which is about 500 miles. That is a real commitment, impressive.

As always, I’m enjoying the scenery on your walk. It seems soothing, peaceful. Stay safe!

Nice that so far from your native country you find the similarities in these flat trails.

It isn’t surprising that the changing palette of color appeals to your artistic eye. They are lovely, aren’t they.

Wherever you pass through you find scenes of beauty and interest.

And that church where the road passes through it, so unusual.

The flat land lends to faster travel and you do cast a long shadow!

🌻Very nice Alexander, I'm listening to similar bird tweets every morning. It's the ultimate wakeup call. Glad you got bunny's' seal of approval to pass-on on the trail. The rising sun stroking the lay of the land and trail, is awesomeness on this video. Hospital de Peregrinos, a pilgrim hospital. 🏥

Must have given a sense of comfort while walking this trail to all folks who passed. Thanks for showing that old historic (hospital/church) and explaining the healing of the very sick in the past. Now, a fascinating hostel to rest, made out of real old stone. Wondering what the population was at that time? I would settle for the romantici dream for todays' remaining 20 miles . . . 🚶‍♂️

Lovely to see the bunny and birds welcoming you. The abbey looked like a comforting healing and restorative refuge. You’re a fortunate & blessed person, Alex!
