Sept. 23 from Azofra to Granon

After hiking about 21 km from Azofra, I slept last night on a mat in St. Juan Baptiste church in Granon. We prepared and shared a communal meal with 57 other people. It was an experience of connecting with people from all over the world including Ireland, Korea and Australia. Most spent the night in the church on two floors with our mats literally touching. Some of us attended the 7 pm Pilgrim mass where the magic was having the lights turned on to illuminate the gilded figures on the main altar. A giant stained window at the back of the church was also stunning.

Pilgrims prepare communal meal for 58. Carolyn was part of the tomato dicing crew. Dinner was tuna tomato salad with a pasta potato and onion main dish.
