John practised again for the Camino de Santiago with a hike to the summit of Montemayor, encounters a very inked trail biker, marvels at the huge vista, encounters an eagle family, a swoop of swallows (house martins), swallowtail butterflies, climbs 800m to the ruins of the 8th century Castillo de Montemayor, and hikes around its senderos (footpaths).
