A fun group of pilgrims


The day started well with getting up and discovering breakfast laid out for us in the kitchen. We set off at a good pace, We continued on some medieval tracks, and at one point Sue stumbled and fell, but lucky didn't hurt herself. The monestary of San Salvador de Cornellana was all shut up, so we headed uphill out of the town , pausing at a rest stop for biscuits and to refill our water. From there it was wooded trails and some motorway building sites, past a rest area with drinks machines to a church that was collecting money for a new roof by letting pilgrims donate and sign roof tiles. There we discovered that Korean lady we had met earlier had signed a tile the day before us! From there a long straight road under construction with a closed church of Santiago and a picnic spot and watering hole Then a stop for sandwiches at a wonderful Albergue the La Gigal De Xugabolos
And on we went through Salas up a long wooded river valley to country roads when it started to pour with rain. We arrived cold and wet to be greeted warmly by David and Celia at the Bodenaya pilgrims hostel where we had a relaxed evening over a communal dinner with a fun group. San Salvador de Cornellana
