Don't know if it's the drugs or the Physio but I walked more easily this morning. It became less accurate as the day wore on but it felt good to feel good, while it lasted. We shortened the length of the walk to 13kms but somehow like all measurements here it was further than that advertised, coming in on Strava at 15.1kms. On the title of my posts I'm never quite sure whether to use the local Gallego name for the places we visit or the Spanish name. Our guide book varies in its usage and sometimes I have difficulty finding our destination on Google maps and/or paper maps because of it. Mindful that some of you may be looking up our location I try to put both spellings if I can. Many people have made comments on the blog which we both enjoy. I always respond to the comments but I'm not sure they realise that you need to tick the box "Notify me of new comments to this post by email" to be notified that I responded to the comments The unseasonably hot weather continues and today was up in the high 20's. We mucked up the food again today. The bars we'd planned to eat second breakfast in didn't open till midday and 1pm and the Alburgue we checked into told us on arrival that the local bar was closed. No Peregrino meal tonight. The Council run Alburgues tend to be self catering. Luckily rural Spain still have mobile food trucks that visit villages and hamlets and these super fast little vans, like the 'Kangoo' at home, who tear around the countryside delivering fresh bread. Never get in their way, the bread must be delivered, even at Sparrow's on Sunday morning. So we were able to buy food for dinner and fresh Tuna Empanada from the bread man. All today's peregrinos were in the same boat, so we all shared our purchases and a feast was had. The Alburgue we are sleeping in tonight is 5 star. An old stone building (you may have noticed I like them) thoughtfully converted for use as an Alburgue by an Architect. The woman who runs it lives in the house next door and was born for the job. She makes everyone welcome but keeps us all in line too. If you didn't have food with you, without her guidance, we all would have gone to bed hungry tonight. The Alburgue does have a vending machine with chips, biscuits, chocolates, not sure how old they are sandwiches and beer! The vending machines often have beer here which we find unusual but welcome too, especially on a hot day. In fact beer is usually cheaper than soft drinks.

Good to hear you're back on your feet. How many km's of the walk are you planning on doing? And it sounds like Manny's language skills are invaluable but not essential? Loving your blog. You might need to think about a change of career

Hi Rose, thank you & we have about 50kms till we reach Santiago. After that Manny says he needs a holiday! Travel blogging would be a cool occupation. How do I organise it?

Hi there. I have just read that there are only 50kms to go...all power to the pair of you. I bet you will be happy to have some R&R when you get to San Diego...do you plan to continue on to the sea as did Martin Sheen in that film?
