Hospital de Orbrigo

There weren’t many photos unless one wanted more cut wheat or very tall corn. 😉. For tonight we are in a rustic, eclectic alburgue in private room, which is 2 twin beds, our own bath and shower. Nothing special, but it feels like a dream when we can!! In the same Alburgue there are 8 people to the room and a shared shower and toilet based on gender.
A quick step back to last nights in Leon we asked a couple to take our photo, the idea being the photo places us at the center point, the CATHEDRAL. That didn’t work out so well. It was beautiful lighting and the Cathedral is wonderful at night. You’ll have to trust me. 😉 We did end up eating a 3rd meal fit the day after the 7pm mass as we found a place with beautiful STEAK, not the thin slices the Pilgrim meals usually provide, tasty as they are….. But thick and juicy wins for me.
And back to the mention of cut wheat fields and corn…. you will note I am once again in error e are not at the end of the Meseta. You are surprised I was wrong you say? Hahaha.
Astorga, is the end. Astorga which is tomorrow’s destination is the end of the Meseta.
This Camino has 3 ‘parts’ to it. The first section is the Body where ‘ the body is challenged’, the second section is the Meseta ‘ where your mind is opened’, it is said). The section we will start after Astorga is where we cross the mountains of León and Galacia, moving from Astorga into Santiago is ‘where your soul is lifted’.
Time for a good sleep in this charming and eclectic Alburgue.Read more
