Puebla de Sanabria to Ourense

Puebla de Sanabria to Ourense

Rest Day

I had around 10 hours sleep last night and felt very rested. The Albergue was very cosy.
My band of peregrinos all set out at 7 am in the freezing cold. I will miss them but that is the way of the Camino.
I left around 8.30am for the train station. I was hoping that I could have a coffee whilst waiting for my train to Ourense. There was a cafe but it was closed.
Caught the train and the journey was a pleasant experience.
I arrived in Ourense around midday. I have booked a room in a hostal directly across the road and also on the Camino route.
As I was early, I left my rucksack and walking poles at the hiostel and wandered (well hobbled) into the city center. I crossed the ‘new’ roman bridge and found the plaza mayor.
I just wandered around the streets, visited the cathedral. Special rates for peregrinos again. It is a very impressive and wealthy cathedral.
I stopped in a small restaurant full of locals and had lunch.
The remainder of my day will be sorting clothes, feet and generally sitting with a bag of ice on my leg reading and watching movies.
Thank you all for your kind and some weird comments.
That was my 20th day on the Via de la Plata/ Camino Sanabres.Meer informatie
