• Day 29 - Astorga to Foncebadón

    July 20, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Today's 29th day of hiking on our 29th anniversary was long but enjoyable. The grade was more similar to the Bay Area hills than the Sierras or Rockies. The weather was cool with a nice breeze and the area was beautiful. Knowing we were in for a long day, we allowed ourselves to stop several times at bars for refreshments.

    Each of the towns was adorable in that small mountain town way, especially since they are also several centuries old. In one town we tried the local fresh cider which was okay but nothing special--I'll have to try others to see if it's typical. We leapfrogged a friend from England and shared lunch before the final leg. It was a full day of hiking but there's not much to do at our final town aside from resting and dining.
