Q. When does Sancho Panzer become more like Don Quixote and vice versa?
A. After spending a lot of time together.
Been pondering this after days together plodding along the Camino de Santiago.

Is there a name for the hour after #sunrise ?
Just asking for a friend who may have got up late and just missed it.
Dunraven Bay and the coast path from Southerndown to Barry are well worth it any time of day though.

They do love a rusty iron artwork in Northern Spain.
Here’s an example that appeals to me.
Remembering an ancient digging tool, the Laya, made from Bilbao Steel.
No longer used but celebrated in (rusty iron) artwork and a race around town, using the Layas.

Also, I had worn them to test the fit of new daps.
