I didn't get on the road with Alan until 10:30 which is quite late compared to the more typical 'getting kicked out of albergue at 7am'.

I enjoyed the first night, in a while, of getting back in the tent. I really was a great campsite and the owners were fantastic.

We knew there would be a significant, but less than recent, amount of climbing involved so we took it all slowly and had lots of breaks. I can be the case in cycling that you push too hard too often when you should really be going easy.

There was a lot of nasty road work today. The most traffic of my entire tour.

I am staying in hostal but Alan is wildcamping. We may meet up again on the road but maybe not.

Funnily enough 'The Belgian' (Peter) was already in the same hostal!

We struggled to find a restaurant with a peregrino menu option but, despite the struggle, we found an absolutely bloody brilliant meal. It was probably the best I have had in Spain. It was gourmet for €12. I exchanged phone numbers with Peter (forget touring bike shop owner) and I hope we will meet again after the tour.

Final day tomorrow. 40km to Santiago. I may ride it with Alan.
