Both days have involved walking up steep hills to a named pass where the Camino crosses the road, and walking through a herd of cows. Yesterday in the rain, today in sunshine with the wind at our backs.
Last night was the only occasion we stayed in a pilgrim refuge – in this case, a room with six bunks in a building also used as a health centre and for a fitness class, in the village St Bartolomé de Pinares. I saw from the guestbook that it was well used; two people had stayed each of the two preceding nights. We ate a variety of tapas etc. in the village, and went to church – a very large church for such a small place.
Today we arrived in Avila, our destination, where we shall stay two nights.
