Espinal

This morning I left Burguete with an empty stomach. The albergue was busy with a large group, and if I wanted breakfast there they could only serve me at 9 am, which was too late for me.

So, I went on my way thinking I would buy something at the bakery nearby, or in the next town, only 4k up. The bakery was closed at 7:30, but I wasn't desperate and walked on to Espinal.

I was getting quite hungry when I got there, and I was seeing more pretty houses, but no shops. Then, a promising sign read 'cafe open 24h', with an arrow pointing right. It was the direction I had to go anyway and was really looking forward to a nice cafe with home made goodies. Big disappointment after I turned that corner and saw that the 'cafe' was... a vending machine!!

There were a bunch of Italians eating and drinking next to the machines. I asked if that was the only cafe in town, and they said it was. I had some coins, and got a hot chocolate and a piece of lemon sponge. Better than nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Then I kept on walking, and 200m ahead there was a real cafe! 😣 Too late, I had enough to keep going, and that's what I did.Leggi altro
