I walk a little faster than Wynette so when I get 50-100 feet ahead I stop and wait for her. Wikiloc records this as a pause. So the moving is my moving. Wynette is probably moving more than that. The pauses also count coffee stops.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Elevation: up 68 feet and down 233 feet, a pretty flat day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We didn\u2019t do pack transfer today because our destination was an apartment with no one to receive it. But it was fine, only seven miles and pretty flat. And Wynette graciously carried some of the weight I usually carry. And no Japanese liqueurs. And we ate all the granola and fruit for breakfast so didn&#8217;t have to carry it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We were walking along the trail and we came upon this large tree across the trail with no easy way to get around (see photo). It must have just fallen since this was the central Portuguese Camino with hundreds of pilgrims passing through. We managed to get over it, despite our advanced age. We had gone maybe 200 feet and we heard a truck pull up, looked back and saw two more pilgrims climbing over it. A minute later we heard the chain saw start up. I\u2019m sure they made quick work of it. We saw this same pair of pilgrims several more times during the rest of the walk, at each coffee place we stopped at.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And one of those coffee places was a real gem, the Oasis Cafe. It was in a private home right along the path. It looked like they had converted, and expanded the garage. Run by a family, we were served by the grandson. We had coffee, of course, and a Spanish tortilla, which was excellent, clearly home made. It was so good we had the raisin cake, also excellent, clearly some grandmother was involved. We saw an older woman and her husband was clearing dishes. Wynette asked the guy about it and he said yes it was his abuelo. Wait a minute, abeulo not abuela? Yes, the old guy clearing dishes made the heavenly tortilla and raisin cake. Never assume.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We are in a spacious apartment tonight, we each have our own room!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And we had a really good Easter lunch, especially the salad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some off and on rain but generally a very good day. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4484-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4484-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4484-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4484-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4484-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4484-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4484-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4484-1200x900.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wall in Oasis Bar.
