Day 8: Xavier – Luceni – Cabañas – Zaragoza

Today we took a private bus from Xavier to Luceni, then we walked for two hours the 8 kilometres to Cabañas. Then we took a private bus to the magnificent city of Zaragoza.

In a children’s playground in a small town is this quote from Don Quixote painted on a wall: “Cambiar el mundo, amigo Sancho, no es locura ni utopia sino justicia”
(Changing the world, my friend Sancho, is not madness nor utopia but justice)
We followed the River Ebro for a while today
We stopped at the place where Ignatius made an important decision.
Which road would he take?

It was hot walking in the afternoon sun
We found some shade to stop for lunch and check our phones
