    Roncesvalles - 13th century monastery!

    April 12 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    I made it down from the pass. That was a long day for me! Some folks came all the way from sjpdp to here. That would be nuts! My legs would fall off !

    This monastery is converted to an albergue. I’m on the 3rd floor. With about 40 others. Apparently it holds 250 pilgrims! Should be some interesting snoring orchestra tonight.

    Showered and did my laundry by hand. But they had a cool “spinner”. Hopefully it will dry soon on the line. I think they may serve trout for dinner. This is close towhere Hemingway used to do his fly fishing a long long time ago.

    TravelerI was expecting wooden bunk beds! Was the bed comfortable? Looks pretty nice.

    TravelerYes comfortable. I think there are bunk beds on other floors. But 3rd floor was newer. It also leaks during storms…. But you get the bed they assign. No changes.
