Dinner In Astorga

After a hard-earned lunch of some liquid refreshment, padron peppers and chorizo con vino, we spent some time walking around Astorga and with it being a public holiday here, there were plenty of people in the main plaza, celebrating Peoples Day.
All of the shops were closed due to siesta time or the public holiday, so we visited the Gaudi Bishop's Palace and cathedral (outside only) and by the time we wandered back, quite a few of the shops were open. After stocking-up on some essentials, we went to the hotel for a break before dinner of menu del dia. This consisted of a mixed salad, beef cheeks with chips and something for dessert I can only describe as a Spanish version of Junket we had as children.
Again, there was a Kluster-in and fortunately he did not eat much so we got away without paying €9 for his meal.
After another walk to stock-up on water, we retired to our rooms and prepared for the day to come. Forecast for tomorrow is for 1 Degree to 14 max with a possibility of an afternoon shower. Hopefully we will be in Rabanal by then, after a 21km walk...(TL)
