Finished stage number 10! The blisters are healing nicely and today while we walked about 24 km, including long detours because the roads were being repaired, they gave me very little grief. The next few days mean long walks so the less blisters the better! We slept quite well in spite of the MANY neighbours. The only thing I did not like was the dirty bathroom, so it was the first time that I did not take a shower as soon as we arrived, neither did I wash the clothes I wore during the past night and day.
Today though we are in a nice place mainly because today there is an important soccer game and the albergues close at 10-10:30 p.m. and the game would not be over by then, so we needed a place that will allow us to come back later.
We visited the town, its cathedral and it was the most different cathedral I have ever seen. Why? Because there is a famous legend about a chicken, a love story and a traveler saved by Santo Domingo. So you go in this cathedral and the beautifully decorated panel that you would expect behind the altar is on a lateral side. The area of the main altar is extremely modern and somewhere at the entrance there is a beautifully decorated cage with a live white rooster and a white hen.
