Last night Irena and I had a pilgrim's menu with wine to celebrate our climb. There were lots of other hungry pilgrims and a nice atmosphere. Then we went to look round the village, visit the church and sit looking out over the mountains.
We slept in the huge dorm with around 70 beds and were woken by some twit's alarm that went off every 5min from 5am. We just got up in the end and left in the dark and trekked through the woodland path with our torches.
It was a great day for walking - sunny but not too hot and the green Galician countryside and dark stone houses and rural villages were very attractive. We also had fantastic views.
The camino population is evolving with more big groups of kids joining the stream.
We arrived in Triacastela suddenly at around 12, and we ate lunch in a noisy cafe while we decided where to stay. Our aubergue is a stone house with uneven wooden floors and a much appreciated quiet charm. It is called Aitzenia.
