2022 Camino Day 5 (17)

Today I challenged myself.

I don’t care who you are, that’s alot if walking with a 30 lb. pack.

I made my two stages. The feet held up. Blisters felt fine. Just the bottoms of my feet were sore. It’s amazing how much I feel a half-inch pebble under my shoes when my feet are already sore. Here are my pictures from the day.

Started out raining.
It stopped raining eventually.
A wild scene… I was just walking along the path when this dog came by me chasing a rabbit. The rabbit ran into a drainage ditch pipe. The dogs other friend, another dog helps get the rabbit out. They both grabbed it on the other end of the pipe and with the rabbit in each of the dog’s mouths, they ran it back to their owner. The rabbit was caught without ever a shot being fired. I was pretty impressed with this.
These kind souls have a food truck on the long stretch today. Everyone was stopping.
Stopped at the next village to get something warm – Cola-Cao! It is basically just hot chocolate made with steamed milk. But, it tastes amazing when you are cold and needing energy.
Somebody made some arrows out of rocks on an abandoned road that is now part of the Camino.

A nice bench to rest my feet on.
I didn’t eat here, but I figured some of you would be interested in the menus.
A cool monument.
Another distance marker.

I opted for the €20 private room. It even came with its own bathroom!
With a TUB!
This may have been the best bath I have ever had!
My menu for the night.
Shrimp appetizer at dinner.
Amazing salad.
Braised beef – Delicious. All of this food, including wine was only 15 Euros.
