Accommodation: albergue - bottom bunk (8 bunk beds in the room)

Subjective feeling out of 10 on:


Enjoyment: 6/10

Fatigue: 2/10

Ease of terrain: 1/10



Challenges: đŸŠ·I’ve lost a filling in the back of my bottom front teeth - which is really annoying- as my tongue 👅 is touching it all the time. Don’t know whether to try and get it fixed in Leon or wait until I get home.


Highlights:The albergue is really nice - very fancy! I thought it was going to be much more expensive to stay here than it was. Pleased it was only €15 as there was no where else to stay. Short day tomorrow as heading into Leon.
