We usually woke up between 7-8 and organized our things. We would then have breakfast either at the Alberque or a nearby cafe. We then started hiking between 8-9. Hiking leaves a lot of time for reflexion and passes surprisingly quickly. We usually hiked for 3-4 hour then stopped for lunch, stretching, and took our boots off. Spain's meal schedule was a bit hard to adjust to at first. They offer very little food choices in the morning (mostly toast and coffe, neither of which I am a huge fan) and eat lunch and dinner very late. After lunch we hiked for another 3 hours or so before we took another break to stretch and eat a bit more. We usually finished hiking between 4 and 6 pm. The days began to have a similar rythm and it may seem suprising that is was very relaxing (mentally) to not have lots of decisions to make. Walk all day, eat when we are hungry and stop at night after we were tired or finished a section.
