Miles walked: 9.66
Flights of stairs climbed: 101
Only about 1/10 of a mile walk to and from lunch place so most of that 9.66 was on the trail.
We really enjoyed our stay in Villatuerta last night in a beautiful private room with two good beds and a window! Slept well, got up early for a simple but nutritious breakfast (coffee, boiled egg, yoghurt, toast) that had been left for us in the albergue. Chatted at breakfast with a man from Phoenix who complained quite a bit about Trump while we ate. (He was a republican.)
Got on the trail by 7:15. We’ve been trying to leave early in the cool mornings so we don’t have to walk as much in the afternoon sun. It’s been in the mid 70s and very sunny the past few days. The sun is quite hot when you are in it with no shade, especially going uphill. We are glad for the partly cloudy forecast tomorrow.
It was a pretty walk through green rolling hills. Tonight we are staying in Casa Rural Montedeio. We stayed here in 2013 and 2014. Worth repeating! It is now run by a family from the Netherlands. We will have dinner tonight with the family and any other guests who opt to dine with them. 17 euros each.
