Day 23: Astorga to Foncebadón (27.2kms)

"Is there supposed to be a road here?"
Aiden & Crystal looking at the guidebook to verify that we´re on the right path.

A sight in front of our albergue in Foncebadón.


Aiden & Crystal in front of our albergue while waiting for our joined pilgrims meal.  By the way, we slept on the chapel floor because the albergue was full when we arrived.  Like many other albergues, they don´t turn away tired pilgrims.


We had lentil soup, bread and some wine for supper.  The meal was delicious.  It´s always nice to share a warm meal with other pilgrims.

Breath-taking sight.


Astorga is a walled city.  Aiden and Crystal standing on the wall 2 minutes from our Albergue.


Our supper consisted of pasta salad, chicken stew and a 61 cent wine!
