• Day 11 Belorado to San Juan de Ortiga

    September 18, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    First night of no forward booking, out at 530am in the moonlight following 2 Japanese pilgrims with headlamps to make it 24 km to the municipal monestary ahead of the crowd and secure a bed.
    Came across Page from Georgia USA, a walking buddy, although she was a little bit loopy (a 47 year old traumatized with mother and commitment issues, walked away from 2 engagements), we chatted and filled in the time arriving ahead of the crowd. A book she recommended by an Australian author "Juicy life"
    The monestary bunkhouse in San Juan Ortiga is an ancient building accommodating more than 100 pilgrims and my home for the night... I am excited to be staying here.
