This place says out at half past 7 and we believed them. So out we head. I feel much better today. We lose the Aussies on the fist hill. Somebody wrote Love is All on the top of the hill in rocks. We run into the Mexicans, we were so happy because they had been missing for two days. By the way you notice the way everyone is called by country, not name, it is because we´re weird and it can be easier for writing, save a couple seconds. Muddy and so windy, my eye is all weird. We make great time though and arrive in town at only 12:30, and in an hour we hit the albergue. It is in the old part of town in this wonderful old building that used to be the mayors house. We are in the top floor with great timber ceilings and oh, it was great, no bunk beds. Rest a bit the head out to explore. It is seista time and so nothing will be open for a couple hours. But we explore the town, the old Pilgrims hostel was turned to a luxury hotel in 1965 and it was amazing. So gorgeous inside. Went to market and then a couple stores. The inside of the cathedral was awesome, like a bunch of little churches inside. The choir was amazing, wooden seats with different saints carved on them. Went back the to albergue and ate and then did a card for Bernhard the Austrian´s birthday and had an excellent nights sleep.

I LOVE This Town
