Hiking 20k

Our hike took us from a busy town, through an industrial zone and then up a loooong steep hill. From there we had lovely tracks wide enough for two to wale side by sde. It was a beautiful way down mostly dirt roads through largely oak forest. I heard a cuckoo! We crossed a stone bridge from medieval times and had lunch at Casa Castro. This gentleman basically thrives on meeting the pilgrims who walk by. Home made bread, soup and wine were offered and Rob serenaded us on the proprietors old guitar. This region has many old stone houses dating back to the 1800”s. Our albergue tonight is nearly full with pilgrims spreading German, French and Spanish. There are several from Australia. We are the only Americans we’ve met so far.Read more
