Villadango de Paramor to Astorga 17.8 mi

September 21st
Started at 5:30 am
Arrived at 1:00 pm

We got up at 5:00 am, got ready quickly and out onto the trail by 5:30 am. Headlamps and rain ponchos on we headed for the trail.

It was well lit for a few miles and then we turned on headlamps when we turned down country roads with corn fields. We passed through some interesting towns once daylight came. One was a town with full on jousting fields and chariot racing track. Would love to see knights competing.

Then we made it up some good hills and finally dropped into Astorga. Waited for our private apartment to be ready by having lunch/dinner. Got word of key code and instructions on how to get in. Each took a leisurely hot shower. Felt so nice!

Ready to siesta a bit then go see the amazing sights of Astorga!

Toured the Palicia de Gaudi and put on a few more miles. Went out for chocolate, gelato and pizza.Read more
