A chorus of Nightingales, Golden Oriels and Cuckoos continue throughout the day. We detour off the canal occasionally, to visit ancient villages, heading for the centre churches. Osorno has a good little supermarket and 6 stork nests, with storks insitu, on their church. This is outdone by Amusco with their 11 stork medieval church. Fomista is on the Santiago de Compostella route, and we counted at least 30 pilgrims (mostly limping) pass as we ate our lunch in the shade.
The handsome cathedral city of Palencia has lots of tapas bars and free wifi, so we can blog.
