Cea to Castro Dozon

Cea to Castro Dozón

Distance 15km (3 hours)

I had a relaxing evening in the Albergue. There were about 25 peregrinos overnight. As predicted, there was a snore fest. I did not participle and managed to have a great night’s sleep with the aid of my ear plugs. At 6.30am, a music alarm tried to walk everyone up. Everyone ignored it and lay on. I eventually got up, had some fruit for breakfast and generally relaxed.
I finally left the Albergue at 8.30am. Sunrise was at 8.40am. I passed some peregrinos who seemed to be waiting for someone to lead the way out of town. I happily obliged.
It has been a cool, overcast day with drizzle. The weather is not unlike the U.K.
There seemed to be a lot of peregrinos on the Camino. I happily wandered although and cruises up some big hills. You were right Mike about the terrain.
I eventually arrived at the Xunta Albergue at 11.30am. The bonus to being early is that you get the three important things to a peregrino:
1. Bottom bunk
2. Space around your bunk
3. Electric socket
Simple things but they mean a lot.
Admin completed, I have eaten lunch and will now relax for the afternoon.
And that was my 23rd day on the Via de la Plata / Camino Sanabres.Read more
