    Day 13 Foncebadon

    April 15 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C

    What a 28km day. Left Astorga and took an alternate route. Arrived in a lovely old village where a native mountain tribe people are. The meal I had 2 days ago is their tradition. And it's a Uneseco Heritage site. Not one street paved and the houses are built with this red brick and I'm the only pilgrim. So pretty. Left the village, again with an unmarked path and came to a fork on the road, with a big hill and 2 gated paths🤔. The gps says to take the 2nd gated path, ok, hope some farmer doesn't come out of his house yelling at me. So the path is right, not private and no wild boars or raging bulls running out of the woods and it brings me right back to the Camino route. Yeah!! The day is downhill from there. It's getting colder, windy and cloudy. Then the rain starts, poncho on, snow starts, back to rain and mud then hail. I'm glad I'm here in my own private room, not sure how that happened but I'm not moving😁😁 And I have TV!!!!Read more
