Our last day on the ship finds us docked in Vega Terron near the region where almond trees and olive trees are grown. We have a short bus ride up into the hills where we are seeing more of those trees surrounding the vineyards.
At the top of the hill is an ancient Moorish village that has also been occupied by Jews and Christian and is one of the places along the Camino Trail of St. James. They know this because of sea shells on the pulpit inside the church. We know the Moors had occupied the area because the 10 Commandments inside the church are written in Arabic.
We wondered the small walled community which now make their living selling things to tourists, making olive oil and flavored roasted almonds.
Tonight is our last night on the boat so the chef prepared a meal fit for a king with appetizers, salad, soup, two entrees and, of course, dessert. As always we had our choice of red or white wine and some bubbly. There was supposed to be dancing this evening but only 6 of us show up so by 10 pm it was dead in the bar. That may also be because we have to be packed and off the ship early in the morning.
