Castro Urdiales

Our stay in the Albergue last night was better than we had feared. The earplugs worked well so we weren’t disturbed by snorers even though there were 20 of us in a smallish room. We got up early and fumbled about in the dark repacking our rucksacks and managed to leave at 7.30 to walk in the cool cloudy morning air. It was a relatively straightforward walk around the coast with beautiful views of the sea. It took a long time to find somewhere for breakfast but eventually found a cafe where we had 4 cafe on leches and 4 large slices of tortilla for 14€. You wouldn’t get that in Costa. While we were there another pilgrim arrived and asked if we’d been at the Albergue last night and if any of us had left anything behind. She then produced Margaret’s swimming costume which she’d left hanging on the end of the bed. What are the chances!!
On the other hand we found that I’d booked a hotel for the wrong night and Andrew and Claire have blisters.
We are now in a cute little apartment in the centre of Castro Urdiales.Read more
