Another beautiful sunny day in Spain..

Yes folks, it is another beautiful sunny day here in Spain. The walk today from El Burgo Ramero to Mansilla de las Mulas (19km) was relatively uneventful. The terrain was actually finally flat the way I had picured the Meseta to be.
For the most part, the Spanish people have been friendly and welcoming. For some reason though, the people here in Mansilla de las Mulas appear to be indifferent and just rude towards the pilgrims. At first I thought it was just me. I actually made a comment to Terri about the the lady In the grocery store seemed to completely ignore the pilgrims in the store and pretty much only talk to the local people that came in. I was just making the comment in passing and we kind of laughed it off. We decided to get a bite to eat for lunch and the 2 young ladies were downright rude to us. It was't just us. There was another pilgrim that asked the bar person a question and she was completely ignored. Both of them just continued to talk to the locals in the bar and serve them. Don't get me wrong, we did get served...eventually and without even any eye contact or anything. These were just 2 of the 4 instances that I personally experienced within a short timeframe of rude behaviour. This town for me will be most remembered for it's undisguised bad attitude towards pilgrims.
Oh well tomorrow is another day and another town so hopefully it will be back the more pleasant side of Spain and it's warm people.
Adios.
A footnote...after posting the above about the people of Mansilla de las Mulas, I came downstairs from my room and the owner of the small, beautiful hotel where I am staying approached me with a huge smile, welcomed me, gave me a map of the town and answered many if my questions. He has restored my faith in the Spanish people once again!
