We set off up to the top of the mountain where we booked in to the albergue. Thank fully this wonderful place had full central heating. We had a regional dinner of baked hake and salad and retired to our bunk beds. We left early, in the dark using our haed torches as a guide, to descend the mountain, which was above the snowline. Unfortunately the descent, although the most beautiful part of the Camino, was the most treachorous, with rock strewn paths all the way. After 6 or 7 hours we arrived at beautiful medieval village, after crossing an ancient bridge. We decided we had earnt a Hostal and booked in for the night. The bedroom overlooked the river and the bridge and had a modern bathroom. After much soaking we had dinner at the restaurant opposite where we had a very tasty local wine which enabled us to sleep well!
The following morning we set off along a more level track to our next stop only to find the albergue was closed, so reluctantly (!) we booked into another hostal in a room with its own patio and as we write we are planning to go out to dinner.
Anthony has just had a haircut in readiness for his arrival in Santiago.
