12 days to Santiago... (9/30)

12 Days to Santiago...

September 30, 2014
City: Astorga, Spain
Distance: 31 km
Time: 8 hours
Miles to Santiago: 183

Twelve more days, but who is counting! It was an easy walk today, if you don't count the rocks, the hills and the hours. But we are troopers! Here are some pics along the way and in Astorga!

Pilgrim art. 

Someone took a lot if time for this work of art... Not sure why?

These people live here. They set out food for donations only. They also invited us to stop in  and enjoy their Casa. The flies were the only ones enjoying the food. 

It is always a good feeling to see the crosses before we enter the city. 

Their are water fountains all along the paths for refilling water bottles. This is always a beautiful site for tired and thirsty pilgrims. 

Can you imagine walking 500 miles with these clothes and suitcase on your back? I can't!

Cathedral de Astorga. Every city has their beautiful chapel. This was closed when we arrived, but we did get to take a few pics before heading back to our albergue. 

Gaudi Castle in Astorga. Sets right next door to the cathederal. Must have been a lot of worker bees in those days. 

The municipal albergue where we stayed in Astorga. Only 161 beds. 

Like the way this pilgrim travels. Next time?
