From June 27th
Life is wonderful. I´m in the Spanish country side surrounded by huge rolling green hills. It´s one of the nicest Alburgue´s I´ve stayed in. It´s a old pirlgrim´s hospital that´s been converted to a hotel. The owner of the hotel has walked the camino several times and wanted to give something back. He has done just that. It´s fancy. With stone wall around the place and tall ceiling´s with chandeliers hanging from them. I´m looking out over the huge cathedral with bell tower and clock watching rain blow across the village. Every town has a church no matter the size. The population of this truck stop town couldn´t be over 100, yet the church and hotel are huge. Reminders of how popular this walk has been for hundreds of years. From high above in the sitting area, I´m watching rain blow across the village, out of wall sized glass windows. The thunder is shaking the whole place, and we had dinner by candelight because the electricity went out. It is very peaceful here so glad I got off the main pace.
