Day 3 - Bodenaya to Borres

Tonight's update will be short.

We can't say enough about our time at Albergue Bodenaya with Allison and Alberto. Anyone who walks the Primitivo should have the experience of staying with them.

We also can't say enough about the views on the Primitivo. Countless times today we paused to soak in the landscape. The pictures we are sharing just don't do it justice.

We are staying in the last town on the route before making the decision to take the Hospitales route or the Pola de Allande route to Berducedo. The goal has been to do the Hospitales route as it is supposed to be the crown jewel of views on this Camino. Unfortunately it looks like we are getting rain tomorrow and we may not get any views.

The route we are taking doesn't have any support, meaning there are no towns, cafes, bars or stops until we are at the end of the stage. We have to carry all the food, snacks and beverages for the whole day. We also will be carrying a wet load of laundry that we washed when we arrived today but as the rain started shortly after we didn't get them dried.

We will get up early to tackle the day, rain or shine. We are on the Camino and that is an incredible privilege.
