Post by Wynette: We walked 7 miles today. (Plus about a half mile to beach, photo above, near where we are staying tonight.) We wanted to go a bit further but there didn’t seem to be any place to spend the night without having to walk about 8 miles further, 15 in all, much further than we wanted to go. There was one albergue two or three miles up the Way but apparently it is the albergue from hell, complete with bedbugs. (Thank goodness even albergues get reviews these days.)
So we are in a nice, but inexpensive, business hotel (with lousy wifi) on a highway. They have a popular bar and a huge restaurant and we ate a good lunch here. There must have been 100 other people eating along with us. We’ve noticed that good places to eat here are mobbed by Spanish families eating out on Sundays and when we arrive we are told they are “completo”. This time he said we could come back in an hour. We planned to eat at 1:30 and had to wait till 2:30. So we were plenty hungry when we were served our first course dishes of white bean stew and cooked vegetables with ham and then second course dishes of grilled bass and pork ribs (so tender) and dessert (layered cakes). We usually get the menu del día (around 15 euros) and there is so much food. We probably should start sharing one.
