Granja de Moruelo to Tabara



Had a good day climbing mountains, more precisely the sides of the Río Esla gorge. Glad that I had my poles. It would have quite a struggle otherwise.

Met two nice German men, hiking on foot the Camino Sanabres. As well as a very kind Spanish man, Roberto. He is biking.

The blister that I treated came back, so I patched it up again.

Made it to Tabara, and glad that I did. The albergue here is fantastic. They are doing laundry for us. Later we have a community dinner, home cooked and tomorrow morning, a community breakfast. The hospiteleros are so accommodating. They are volunteers, and obviously have a strong desire to serve.

The community dinner was great. It was what the Camino is about. I enjoyed great conversation and great homemade cooking.

Forecast is for strong rains on Wednesday. That will be quite a challenge, as the weather has been exemplary so far.

'Orense' to the left.  So begins the Camino Sanabres in a small pueblo in Spain but with big meaning to me.
