Fromista to Carrion de los Condes

The walk was good this morning, although we didn’t sleep well last night due to no a/c and keeping the windows closed to keep out the bugs.

We were gifted one of those iconic Camino moments when a Sheppard lead his flock of sheep with two dogs across the highway blocking our Camino for a minute. It was a nice reminder of the stories my father told of tending sheep in Rainier, OR on their farm on the Columbia River delta under the Longview Bridge. He gave us a tour of all the area where he grew up last summer when we visited him.

We arrived in Carrion de los Condes around noon. The town has a great vibe. Bought some needed supplies and we were granted immediate access to our Hostal room. One of the best showers in days. Hot water until clean and then turning the water to cold to help the footsies recover.

Lunch was a fantastic 3-course meal for 14 Euros. It was so good we made reservations at the same Restaurant, El Corte for this evening.

After visiting a farmacia, we are now going to take a proper Spanish siesta.Read more
