Day 29 The Climb to Foncebadón

Last night the hospitalero washed, hung out, brought in and carefully folded our clothes for us which was very welcome and quite unexpected. True hospitality!

We saw a Spanish boules match in the village. I ate pig's ear stew finally.

This morning we set off in the dark at 5.50 and I even wore the head torch. We are now already  at Foncebadon and waiting for the Parish aubergue to open at 13.00. We had an excellent brunch of eggs and bacon and then climbed up the mountain for 5km. A group of forresters were also climbing up but looked hot and uncomfortable in their hard hats and high vis jackets.

Today was an easy day - just 21km! Tomorrow we go over and down the mountain. 

Tonight we will stay in the aubergue with a young Italian priest whom we met in Leon and his group of 8 jolly teenagers.
