Day 5 - Arres to Artieda

 

Arrés also has a nice little sundial	Looking back at Arrés in the early dawn
Path dividing from the road
	Strange to be in a land so flat only two days from the Pyrenees
Quite a wide variety of soils	including the frequent bare eroded hillocks
Distant view of pilgrims apparently striding to nowhere	A consoling waymark
More moonscape hillocks
The farm tracks keep going for miles	Distant view of Artieda (together with the impending thunderstorm of incredible fury
where we are greeted by the two hospitaleros (with a French pilgrim)	who also run a flourishing café bar
This was a short walking day	and a good opportunity to look all round the village
	including climbing to the top of the church tower
admiring the roof patterns	and the view of the route to come
chile peppers out to dry	faded grandeur
