A little bit of luxury along the way

Los Arcos to Viana is only 20 kms but felt more than that today. We left at 7 in the dark and at  one stage were looking for arrows with torches. Passed through 2 villages but bars not open so facing the whole distance without a break or a bar.  Then we came across a group of volunteers who had set up a shaded area and were giving stuff away----cold drinks, fruit, home made bread and jam, bowls of nuts on the tables. You could make a donation if you wanted but it wasnt necessary. How good is that. The only place we could book here was a 4 star hotel--- the  sacrifices we have to make!!!
