102/62 is extraordinary. I’ve always thought I had the BP of a sloth at 113/70, and I’m five years younger than you. My doctor says my blood has to cover such a distance to get round me that it has to take it slow or it wouldn’t make it.
One memory from the Camino is the few times when I had been walking for hours and still had a long hill to climb. I'd look up that hill and think, "I can't make this right now." Then I'd just keep walking and not looking up the hill and soon...

The Albergue O Bonito is a separate place from the museum, when you first enter town on the Camino. I believe it was brand new in 2017. It has grown and changed over the years, with a new enclosed restaurant that used to be mostly outdoors.

Elle...sorry...another question if I may (and I'm trying hard not to be a barnacle lol). In reading your website for the Portuguese (Day 8 - Alvorge to Condeixa-A-Velha) there is detail of an albergue in Rabacal. When I was doing my initial...
Elle...actually I think I answered my own question. I clicked on the Hostel/Albergue's link(in your blog) and it took me to Bookings. Had a look at the imbedded map. Has Albergue O Bonito smack in the middle of Rabacal. The accommenndation looks...
