Astorga
Supper last night was interesting. Lots of salad followed by some unidentifiable meat and dessert. The hospitalier then brought out liquers. Left San Martin del Camino at 6:30am. Only 7km to a perfect coffee spot in Hospital de Orbigo. Sat on a balcony overlooking the best preserved medieval bridge in Spain dating from the 13th century. We then took the cross country route over the hills. It was beautiful but very dfferent from what we had alredy seen. Much more scrubby. The trail was along well marked gravel paths with shade. The best was a small snack bar on the top of the hills. It was like something out of the 60s but there was orgnaic fruits and juices and much more all by donation. The road into Astorga seemed long as we entered the industrial area. It´s good to be all together again although we are walking separately at our own pace. Arrived here and now ready to see the town. MOre later. Daphne
