Day 8. Week of the pig, in Viana

I like encountering unexpected things when I travel. Today I wandered into the  Casa de Cultura in Viana (pop 3600). As far as I can determine, this week’s exhibit features the history and methods of killing pigs and making sausages. Yesterday there was a demonstration of soap-making from pig fat. Tomorrow there will be a gastronomic event, presumably featuring pork. However, today is not so appetizing.

This undated poster show a particularly famous pig.

Several versions of “The Three Little Pigs” in English and Spanish.

By the way, today was about 20 km, moderate terrain, beautiful weather Los Arcos to Viana.

    • I, too, am bothered by its disappearance. But I couldn’t be bother to sort it out. Only knew day 8 because it was Thursday (i think) and I had started my second week. Next time I will be sure to start on a Sunday or Monday to make it easier!!
