Alboloduy to Nacimiento

I started early in pitch dark at 7am. I was having regrets walking in the river bed in the dark. But nothing went wrong and daylight slowly appeared.
There was a steep up hill to the road. Then a short stretch on the road. I wondered why a man in a blue van was waving at me, looked friendly enough so I smiled and waved back. Turned out it was Santiago from the bar in Nacimiento where I am staying tonight. Typical of this camino, there is a family of people who look after you.
Across country and a steep downhill back to the river bed. Someone has built a patio over the track, but I clambered over the fence and walked through their patio. The alternative was a cliff.
Nacimiento was soon in sight, and sure enough, Santiago was in the bar. Matteo from Argentina found a dodgy stream to watch the rugby. Though I think he is more into River Plate.
Another warm balmy evening in a lovely town in Andalucía.Читать далее
