Buen Camino – 25 km – San Martin del Camino
Leaving the Albergue at 06:30 again. It was quite full last night. There are 134 beds in 4 dormitories. It takes more than one hour to get out of the city.


There were two options to walk today. Via San Martin del Camino or Villar de Mazarife. Tomorrow both routes will connect in Astorga. The route I walked was not the best choice, mostly close to a noisy road. The other route would have been prettier, only 4 km longer over two days. So there are no nice photos from today.

Nearly another hour walking through an industrial area. Fortunately it’s not so hot anymore, 25 degrees, wind …


I stopped for a coffee in San Miguel del Camino. There I met Kim, a nice guy from Korea. We walked together until San Martin del Camino. It was very interesting talking with him, his English was very good. He is a banker from Seoul, worked in London and traveled in many countries. So I come to know a bit more about Korea and he about Germany. He continued walking 8 km more. He is just writing there is a very special Albergue. I was just to tired continue walking.

Is a very simple Albergue here. Soft Mattresses, a very simple kitchen, close to the road.
What bothers me more is that my Vodafone SIMcard is not working. My phones says „No SIMcard“. Tomorrow is the last day for my German Internet balance. In Astorga I will go to Vodafone to clarify this, I hope.
I just had a nap for two hours. Then went to a supermarket, got some food and had a coffee in the only Bar/Restaurant around here. It is very windy now.
