3 February to Barao de Sao Joao

The day started with a minute but strong coffee and something a bit like a croissant. As in Spain the bar was full of men. The walk today was hilly and after some farmland went through wooded areas with pines, eucalyptus, occasional cork trees and many wind turbines. Another shortish day at 23.6 km.

I spent the night in Barao de Sao Joao (at Casa do Joao). The landlady of the rooms I am staying at was very chatty, unfortunately as it was all in Portuguese I understood very little and just smiled in and nodded in a friendly manner.
There was evidence of an artistic community in the town with several tall, thin statues, paintings on walls and what looked like two rats or cats copulating(?) on a roof by a friendly restaurant and bar.
