On Mom’s birthday my siblings and I exchanged our usual birthday greetings. I took a short walk and veered off the Camino a few hundred yards to stay at a farmhouse in Villamartín Pequeño, Granja de Calor. Here I am walking with Claire, a really lovely woman from the south of England.
The farm where I was headed is owned by a German couple, Freddy and Nicole.
They have bought a run-down farm and are working to build up the soil. They offer 3 beds to pilgrims. I was lucky to get one. It’s a very humble place but they are great hosts and really good cooks.
Here I am in the pilgrims’ area. Two sisters from Quebec were there with me that night.
Before we came in to supper, Freddy was out calling an animal. We asked what he was looking for and he said, one of their cats. This seemed odd to me, but he said they have to get everything in before dark, that the wild boars would attack them, otherwise. Here is the sunset from their backyard.
