Our walk was about 24 km and we had some beautiful landscapes

These ruins had a sign that told of former refuges to shelter shepherds and other travelers

The wildflowers are really beautiful this time of year here

And we had several kilometers of Rocky roads

And the trail was also sometimes barely discernible from the surrounding field

The albergue in San Muñoz, which we shared with a family of Ukrainian refugees

Prudence took this picture of us in front of the village church

As usual, a stork nest making good use of the church Belfrey

Prudence told us a fascinating history of San Muñoz during the Napoleonic wars

Prudence took Roel into the town hall to meet one of the other women who run this town

Day 3 Camino Torres to San Muñoz

April 28, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F

The day before had been very rainy, so we were warned to take the route for the wet season, which avoids walking through knee deep water for period of time. We were happy to do that!
After walking from Robliza de Cojos to the local gas station for coffee, we headed on the highway route and then decided to go a bit further to try to a town with a bar AND to avoid a second water crossing and ended up turning back towards the Camino at Aldehuela de la Bóveda. We stopped there for a very welcome but small meal before we journeyed back toward the Camino, first on several kms of a small paved road, and then several more kms of a rocky, sandy track.
We arrived late in San Muñoz and found Prudence, the hospitalera, who told us that the Ukrainian refugees would let us into the Albergue. She showed us around their local church & town & then stayed with us at the bar until almost 10 PM when we were finally able to get some delicious food.
San Muñoz is a gorgeous little town, wanting for more residents and hoping the Camino will help them increase.Read more
