Roca Madre - La Rodriga

Had a great evening having a communal dinner with pilgrims from New York, Czech Republic, Denmark and Puerto Rico. The American guy had also crossed over from the Norte and although we had never met him before we had lots of Camino friends in common. We left with mist hanging over the hills and some trepidation approaching our first day of steep climbing. We all coped with it well and are thoroughly enjoying the more rural and off-road nature of the Primitivo. We stopped at a little place that served drinks and snacks for a donation. It was run by a young hippy couple who were happy to chat and stamp our credencials.
We are staying in a tiny Albergue ( also donativo) The owner ,Diego, has been here for 3 years. 2 doing it up and opening this year. He gave us all a beer when we arrived so we are sitting on the terrace enjoying the views. He is going to do our washing for us and give us dinner!
