We agreed to stay at a refugio that looked really interesting, old beams, stone floors and the owners had recently refurbished it. We decided to take a single room. The hallway had a wood burning stove which after investigation was the only form of heating in the entire building. They apparently did not feel the need to put heating in the bedrooms or the bathrooms. The water was not hot either. The entire place was immaculately restored without any heating!
Our next refugio, recommended by the previous one was worse as the wood burning stove was tiny. However it was great fun as we had a home cooked meal plus some moonshine which we felt we had to drink as the owner had made it himself!
We are now staying at the oldest albergue on the Camino which has a medieval courtyard and well. This has heating and the Hospitalero is a knight of the Maltese Cross who is extraordinary and a charming host. As we are English he has given us some bacon to cook for our breakfast.
We are now close to the snowy mountains where we will ascend to 1500 metres.

This is better than training to be a Legionaire! Keep going my friends and don't look back. Proud of you and no question you won't make it.
