Fonfria to Sarria – 28 kms<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today was a long 9 hour walk to Sarria.<\/p>\n

It was a beautiful morning as we left our mountain lodging at Fonfria. We were the last to leave as usual and had the path to ourselves. A weasel ran across the path in front of us and I didn’t scream.<\/p>\n

It was really neat being above the clouds this morning, then descending down into them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most of the day was very scenic, winding through forest tracks and small towns smelling of cow shit.<\/p>\n

After a long walk we stumbled upon an oasis in the middle of nowhere. Sofas and fruit, bread and biscuits and juices.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After a break at the hippy place, it seemed a long way before there was anywhere else to stop. After a couple of hours we heard music drifting up the mountain. Proud Mary was playing.<\/p>\n

‘Is that a live band?’ I asked Mike.<\/p>\n

‘I dunno.’<\/p>\n

We kept on walking hoping all would be revealed around the next corner. Nope. Still no sign of the source of the music.<\/p>\n

Half and hour later and the anticipation is killing us. We can hear them but we can’t see them. Is it an aural mirage? Is that even a thing?<\/p>\n

Finally, we found them. In a small village a band was playing so we stopped and had a drink and listened to them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The rest of the day dragged a bit and we were thankful to arrive in Sarria at 5pm. But what a shithole!<\/p>\n

A quick shower and wash of our clothes, we went out in search of dinner.<\/p>\n

3 beers later and 3 different places and no sign of a pilgrim dinner anywhere. We ended up with second rate tapas, not ideal after a long day.<\/p>\n

Kinda ruined my day.<\/p>\n
