Granja de Moreruela to Tabera

Granja de Moreruela to Tábara

Distance 25km (5.5 hours)

I said my farewell to Rogerosky at 6am this morning. That is the way of the Camino. He is a good man and I enjoyed walking with him for three days.
I set off at 06.30am in total darkness. It was cool and there wasn’t any wind. As soon as I left the village, l was joined by Ankel, a Spaniard from Bilboa. Together, we set a blistering pace in the darkness. We quickly completed the first 7km when we took a wrong turn and had to back track half a kilometre. Your instincts tell you that you are not going the right way. We were quickly back on track.
We walked a lot of road today. We finally got to Fanamontanos de Tábara at around 10am. We found the only cafe/bar in the place. The lady prepared a wonderful tortilla for us and a cafe con leche for the princely sum of 2.60 euros.
We walked the final 5 kilometres to Tábara and the Albergue. I passed over Spain’s version of the H2S railway track. It is nearing completion and will have super fast trains running from Seville to Madrid.
We are the first peregrinos at the Albergue. We were fretted with a warm welcome and a cold beer. It is a traditional Galician Albergue. The hispilardo wash’s our clothes and provides us with a meal this evening. You are simply asked to make a suitable donation.
And that was my 16th day in the Via de la Plata and Camino Sanabrés.Baca selengkapnya
