Day 6-Estella to Los Arcos
Almost a week on the trail and many are suffering from blisters, sore muscles, tendinitis, lots of falls and a few serious injuries. Many have had to head home early. Surprisingly, the younger ones seem to be faring worse than the older peregrinos! Toughness comes with age. We are doing well- must be the age thing. A typical day starts early in the albergue- people start getting up at 5:30 or so- lights on at 6- then everyone up and out before 8- we usually leave by 7 after cafe con leche and bread. The coffee is wonderful-then 5-6 hours or more of hiking- early afternoon check into the next albergue, shower, hand wash your clothes and hang to dry- then explore, nap etc until dinner. Siesta is 2-5pm- dinner is late 8-9pm lights out at 10pm

Looks like a great trip. Are you using your espanol?
ReplyDeleteCafe con leche. Sounds wonderful! Do the days go quickly when walking or does it seem long? Love, K and K
ReplyDeleteHi Brad and Lynda! looking good! What are the albergues like? how many pilgrims per night? Have you seen the singing nuns yet?
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your adventures in a beautiful country. But not jealous of all the hiking! Love the pics too!
