Hospitalera Day 7

It’s hard to believe that we have been here for a week now! Today the sun is shining and the temperature is up to a balmy high of 14 degrees today!

Llew placed an order with our neighbouring tienda a few days ago, and today I picked up a Tarte de Santiago and fixings to make a beef stew. Yum!

The monastery/chapel is vey quiet today, all the monks and priests have left. Maybe something to do with the pope’s passing? Last time I went on Camino, in 2022, the queen died. Is there significance?

We have a small group today, just six pilgrims. Two young girls from USA offered to cook dinner for everyone ❤️. It was lovely, they even used some herbs from the garden. Which seems to be a friendly place for insects also.

I was asked about the tea. This albergue is managed by the UK organization Confraternity of St James. They stock the albergue with plenty of English tea at the start of the season.Read more
