Day 22 of our Camino de Santiago. Today we were walking from Sn Martin del Camino till Astorga (25.18 km). I decided to count, how much we already walked from Sant-Jean-Pied -de-Port till Astorga (according to my daily log).. so it happens that we walked already 547.91 km!!! That’s a lot!
Yesterday we had a great dinner in our albergue. Met a lot of new people. Was very nice!
And today we left a bit earlier than usual, because we wanted to reach Astorga early, take a shower and to go for sightseeing.
The whole day was cloudy and drizzly.
Almost whole way we were walking with some pilgrims. Sometimes we were walking in the group. Sometimes faster or slower. In the beginning road goes next to the road, but later it is so much better, because it takes you through some fields, hills with picturesque views.
Before Astorga we stopped in La Casa de Los Dioses, where you can find some food for pilgrims (for donations). It was so nice! You can have a cup of tea or coffee (was very nice, because it was very windy and cold), bananas, oranges, biscuits, cheese, chips, etc. And location is very beautiful as well!
In Astorga we were really anxious to see Palace of Gaudi, that he made for his friend Bishop. At it was amazing! Also you should definitely visit Cathedral Santa Maria (although I liked it how it looks from outside more than inside).
