Astorga To Rabanal Del Camino

Up at 06:00am this morning, pack and check-out. Our first day walking, 22.5km in 6 hours, a pleasant pace. We arrived in Rabanal just after 13:00, no blisters, no sore spots, but a little tired.
We checked in, did some washing and then off to the bar to replenish the lost fluids. After, we went for lunch, which consisted of pasta, soup and salad as first course and then trout, pasta, steak or pork for seconds. All washed down with a couple of bottles of vino de casa (house wine).
As it was afternoon and we are in Spain, we thought we would obey the custom of a siesta.
Getting up at 18:00, we went for a walk to get water from the local super mercado and settled into the bar for some light refreshment.
Here are a few happy-snaps of the day....(TL)
