Heading to Lorca, Spain from Cirauqui, we passed several farms (actually saw a farmer checking over his crop), and further down the dirt “Roman Road” of this stretch of the Camino, we took advantage of this “trail stop”, a veritable oasis in the middle of a hot, scrub-brushed section of the valley. There were just a few artists here who simply asked only for donations, not only for their hand-made trinkets, jewelry, pottery and souvenirs, but also much-appreciated fruits, candy bars, cold sodas and lemonade. We lucked out as there were a few places to sit on homemade wood chairs under whatever little shade there was. Bliss… and yes, very good vibrations!!
