We started the day in Astorga by visiting the cathedral. It's truly amazing that almost every town in Spain has an incredible church. Astorga also has a palace designed by Antonio Gaudi. I knew he was famous for his work in Barcelona on the "Sagrada Familia" but i dis t expect to see so much more of his work while we are traveling in the north. What a nice suprise!
After touring in town we then headed out to begin our journey through the country. It was mostly uphill through the scenic countryside. It was much greener than some of the previous areas. We had breakfast in a small town after hiking for a few hours. We ran into a new friend, Stephanie, who is from Dublin. She is here alone and wanted to walk with us so we spent the afternoon chatting and hiking.
We arrived in the beautiful town of Rabanal tired but very content. At this point our legs are very well adjusted to the miles but our feet usually force us to stop before the rest of our bodies are tired.
