walked this section October 5, 2019
On Day 5, Saturday, we walked 11.7 miles from Los Arcos to Viana. It was an awesome weather day. The first 6 miles or so were quite level and lovely. The second half had lots of climbs and downhills. The sky was blue and clear. We are tired and happy. Russ and I have now walked every step of the Camino Francés, from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago, at least once.
 Delightful start to the day |  |
 |  I think I see a village over there! |
 Vineyards everywhere |  Spectacular morning’s walk; click on the photo to enlarge it |
 Somebody built a rock forest along the trail |  showing off our backpacks by a tree pilgrims decorated in the forest |
 Our Lady of Poyo had rosy cheeks |  Yikes, we just walked down that trail! |
 The trail became much more hilly |  Thank you Casita Lucia for the cold Aquarius and the almonds fresh from the trees. What a welcome break on a long stretch with no villages |
 almost to Viana; getting tired |  |
 We stayed at the Pension San Pedro in Viana. Okay but not our favorite. |  Small rooms and steep stairs. |  the window in our room was round and deep with a rack for drying clothes |
 this nearby square with San Pedro presiding was nice |  we had a nice breakfast in the hotel on the square where we wished we had stayed |
