Camino Day 14 - Rabanal del Camino

So we left the beautiful city of Astorga around 7:30 am, well just the albergue, and walked about 100m to get breakfast.
Then meandered out of the city past the cathedral, and into the countryside.
A lot of little small villages along the way to stop and rest and get a drink.
The temperature was in the mid 20's and all uphill.
We arrived in our final town about 1pm and had to walk another big hill to find out albergue. It's a donativo (donation) run by the London based Confraternity of St James, with 3 monks still in residence.
The welcome was warm and personal, the beds are comfortable and the showers clean and hot.
Just finished our Pilgrim Meal at the pub about 50 metres up the road. 13.50 euro for 3 courses with a bottle of wine and bread.
Another early night as we are heading into the mountains tomorrow so a bit of a climb ahead.Read more
