Casual day on the Camino

Not exactly smooth going

Pilgrim's bridge

Sunday and we decided to take a casual day of hiking and enjoy the sites a bit more.  Along the route was a monument “Roldan’s Hill” where legend has it Roldan slew the Muslim giant Ferragut with a well-aimed rock….sound familiar?  Arrived at our destination at noon only to find a huge festival in progress…not a good sign for obtaining a bed…in fact absolutely everything was full and with premium prices.  We were told that even the next town was  full as well….so being the seasoned travelers that we are, we decided that we would just take a bus beyond the next village to where we should be able to find something.  However, while we are waiting for the bus, Jerry found a Hostel, pleaded his case and actually got us a bedroom in a three bedroom flat with an adjoining bath.  Before long every bedroom was filled with a truly international group…Australia, Brazil, Spain & Korea.  Of course the traditional fireworks didn't end until well after midnight.  The next morning we heard that they opened the gymnasium and housed over 80 pilgrims on the floor.
