Etapa 10: Sernadelo

I stopped in Hilario for the evening and the person running said that there were only two beds left despite the website saying that there was 18 beds in the dormitory which was quite surprising because everywhere else has been pretty sparsely populated.

Sure enough, pretty much all of the beds had things on them, but there was no one else there.

A little while after I arrived, a man from Poland who was traveling to Fatima but had just finished the French Camino arrived. We talked for quite a while about how people can often work too much and he was giving me some good travel meal tips because I’d mentioned how hard it is to just keep eating all of the time to replace all the calories from walking.

Turns out, that 16 of the beds were taken up by Nepalese workers who all arrived around 4 AM playing what I’m guessing was Nepalese music because of all the flutes that was in it. They all went to bed pretty quickly though, which was helpful in getting back to sleep to be up early(ish) the next day.Read more
