Villamayor de Monjardín

26Km - 16.2 miles Villatuerta to Los Arcos. Since we had a shorter day yesterday we made up for it today. We walked 16 miles. It was raining on and off - not heavy, just a light rain. We had a nice lunch at Villamayor de Monjardin where we had to decide to stop for the day or keep going. I felt I couldn’t walk another step. The bartender however said it was an easy walk. So we had a chisterra sausage sandwich, a couple claras and cafe con leche. Then we decided to keep going!  It was about 9 miles walking in the middle of nowhere and we didn’t see another pilgrim until we got to our destination for the day. Palma was able to see a medic after we got here. He wrapped her wrist very nicely. He didn’t have the capability to do an X-ray but he said the town we’ll be in tomorrow will be able to X-ray though I’m not sure that is necessary. We are staying in a double room with our own bath/shower again. I think our albergue days of sharing baths and sleeping in rooms with a bunch of pilgrims is behind us. It is hard to get a good sleep with a lot of people in the same room. We will have a communal dinner in this place tonight which will be nice since we know a couple of other folks staying in this place. It was great catching up with you yesterday! Read more
