Another day of the meseta, but still lots of interesting sites. The ruins and archway are of an ancient convent and monastery connected to the work of the hermit Saint Anthony of Egypt. Food was left here for the pilgrims but today pilgrims leave messages instead. As we continued on we saw what we thought was a traditional pilgrim complete with his donkey. The donkey wore the scallop shell on his forehead, grazed along the path and also carried a pail of oats. Our image was shattered when the gentleman pulled out his IPhone to take a photo of us! Jerry tried to negotiate some rental space for our packs, but the deal breaker was when Jerry wanted use of the IPhone thrown in.
