Day 9 walking!

Last night’s Albergue was like a road side cafe with a few rooms above. The food was good and the room was dated but it was only two of us in the room (no bunks hooray!) and only 4 walkers in the whole place, another Brit and a Kiwi.
Forgot to mention that yesterday we left the Rioja region and passed into Castille and Leon, so we have left the red soil behind us now!
We had pleasant undulating walk with threatening clouds, to our first tea break at Belorado, which is lovely town with cathedral and caves built into rocks behind it and lovely selection of street art murals featuring the Camino.
After this stop, the weather dominated the rest of the day with drizzle, then sun, then drizzle, rain, little hail and sun at varying intervals! One of the dirt tracks turn to gluppy sticky mud which was little hard going, but otherwise the 20km was relatively ok with with gentle inclines and some bits by main road. Our Albergue tonight is in Villafranca and attached to a nice hotel, so nice surroundings but in bunks in a small dorm!Read more
