Today we thought that the stage was going to be relatively easy, but this did not prove to be the case, as the 21kms turned into more than 24 kms and over loose stones for a considerable part of today's course.
A couple of us / in our small walking group / decided to take the alternative route, adding some .9 of a km. This área was over beautiful vineyards and small farms.
We reached our destination around 1 pm and went to our selected albergue La Piedra. It was great that we had pre booked this accommodation as it was completely full today.
We arranged for our washing to be done by the local owners, and what a service, not only did they do the washing they folded all the clothes including the socks.
We had lunch at a local restaurant at the main plaza.
Visited the local pharmacy for supplies of Compeed / prevention is better thant cure.
Tomorrow we go up again to a place called La Laguna just before O'Cebreiro.
Frank and Julia / our Canadian father and daughter companions have decided to have a rest here today and will remain here for 2 nights.
Bye for now. Jose
