Day 26 Molinaseca 26 km,
Great walking in torrential rains!
Day 25 Rabanal 24 km
Stayed at the British confraternity here and it was wonderful. A great couple from New York City with an art gallery and stuff and volunteering here. Amazing people and so hard working making sure that everyone had the best experience. A wonderful garden and sunshine for the afternoon.
Great dinner in a wonderful restaurant.
Day 24 Astorga 17km
A great town to visit - home of chocolate making, the Gaudi museum, a great private hostel where the owners also were related to the first class Gaudi restaurant opposite the museum. If the town has a choice of restaurants I usually ask the host/propietor for a recommendation. I enjoyed the classy restaurant and we got a discount because there is a relationship between the refugio and the restaurant. White table linen (not the usual paper) and first class service (usually the poor waiter/waitress is running to serve so many tables. They do a great job but so many tables). I met two Canmore ladies whilst at lunch so when my friends left I continued socializing and having some wine with them. We, everybody, were so lucky that the sun managed to shine all day as rain was threatening. I enjoyed both the inside and outside of the museum and the Gaudi design. Gaudi seems to have a Disney, castle-like design in some of his buildings. I enjoyed it all so much today wandering the town and stumbling or finding another awesome refugio with lots of character.
