Camponaraya to Villafranca

Villafranca del Bierzo
Sunny weather. I walked 15 Km from Camponaraya arriving at my accommodation San Nicolas El Real Monasterio at 2pm. This part of the Camino Francis is said to be easy to medium grades. I founded medium as did other pilgrims along the way. Often we would joke that that's Villafranca down there. Not so but we continued on.
Along The way there was a lot pavement concrete roads and dirt road to walk on. In the end, my knees were grateful that we finally arrived at Villafranca. This is a very pleasant place but like small villages, English is a bit of a joke. The Spaniards here very helpful. Big smiles but don't understand what you're saying and Google translate is really handy.
