Villadangos- Hospital de Orbigo

Sunday 28th April 2024

Today was a really nice day. I only had a short walk flat, so I was in no rush.

After breakfast, I got packed up and then wandered down the road for another chat and a coffee with Eileen and Richard. It’s been so lovely to see them.

Then I wandered on for another couple of k’s and popped into a bar and found some lovely Australian ladies I haven’t seen since Carrion and I had a lovely chat with them.

I finally decided to get walking again and pushed onto Hospital de Orbigo. It’s a flat walk on a track beside the road, so there wasn’t anything of any note except it wasn’t raining or windy. Just another day.

Walking into Hospital de Orbigo, you cross a long medieval bridge, and that was the most interesting thing I saw today, except I could see snow on the mountains in the distance.

My accommodation is lovely, so I did my chores and rested until it was time for dinner and what a treat that was. I had the most delicious stewed beef. It’s ages since I’ve had that sort of food, and I woofed down as much as I could. Desert was, of course, my absolute favourite. Flan, it’s called here, but we’d call it a creme caramel. I shared a table and a very nice conversation with an Australian lady I haven’t met before, so I’ve had lots of Australian company today.
