Day 20: To Hontanas

Had nice vegetarian paella in communal meal- mainly talking to an Italian man. Up early and poor sleep due to loud snoring. Meandering path steadily climbing through farmland, green shoots of wheat and wind turbines in distance , gradually climbing on paths of rough reddish brown gravel stones. A shortish walk to Hontanas only about 11 km. At the cafe in Hontanas met Fred, the German man sharing lower bunk in previous Albergue and continued our talk in German. Checked in at the Alberque and was really pleased with my allotted pre- booked bed. Lower bunk and in corner, spacious and clean. Paid 15€ for bed and 11€ for communal evening meal. See the attached photos. Advantage of arriving early was able to plan route for next few days and and book accommodation for next few days. Had a very nice vegetarian paella and mixed salad for evening meal.Read more
