Post by Wynette: We saw this on our stroll around Tapia today. It’s situated so it’s protected from the waves but fresh sea water comes into it. We speculated it might be for swimming and would be less cold than the direct ocean, which is very cold here. A man and woman walked by so I decided to ask “is this a pool for swimming?” He said yes. It used to be a place where they farmed shellfish but they stopped doing that and then eventually decided to make a swimming pool out of it. He said (if I understood him correctly) this is very rare in Spain. Maybe one or two others except maybe more in the islands. I asked if very many people swim in it. He said yes but not till the summer.

Day 9, April 13: Rest day in Tapia
Post by Wynette: Yesterday we rented a little apartahotel in Tapia for two nights. Enjoyed an easy relaxing day here. Very pretty little port and beaches. All energized to hit the trail tomorrow.
