Yesterday was a great day. We woke up later than usual, got our stuff packed, moved to the closest hostel so we could go see the city. We picked out a small 16 bed hostel for the night, right above a small chapel. Nothing special but all we needed was a bed for the night anyway. When we got settled we took our valuables and went into the city. Found a place for a good caffee con leche... Thomas wanted to see about buying a ukulele, so with the help of Google translate, we found a guy that pointed us is the direction of a music store. We took full advantage of the instruments there. I tested some of the upright pianos, he tested the guitars... felt good to play some music again.

With his new guitar in hand we walked around town, sat down for a donor kebab lunch and went back to the hostel. Nap time.
As usual I couldn't sleep or nap so I got up and went for a walk in what was the most beautiful city in Spain so far. Small streets, old stone houses, an amazing cathedral and plenty stores, bars and restaurants. We were gonna meet the girls for dinner at 7th, so around 530 I returned to the hostel to get ready. When I got there Kelly and VI were there as well. So rather than waiting till 7, Vi and I decided to go for a beer already. We sat down at a bar, outside, right in front of the cathedral. Good view of the city and it's people. At 7th, Thomas, Kelly and a bunch of other pilgrims showed up for dinner, so we sat down for another beer or two. At random Thomas and I decided to photo bomb at least 5 people taking either selfies or pictures for friends and family. This created a very funny show for other people watching us run and jump into the memories people were creating there...

Dinner was amazing. We found a small restaurant serving all kinds of pasta, salads and meats with vegetables. A table of 8 of us and plenty stories as we usually have at dinner time. A couple beers, some sangria and an amazing dinner later, it was time to go back to the hostel, just in time for the doors to be locked....

Didn't sleep at all, but ready for a 20km walk I got up at 630 am. Packed my belongings for the 17th time this month and went outside to wait for the rest. It was a windy and cloudy walk which was perfect, because walking in the heat is not always that pleasant. Made good time. With a lunch and a couple breaks it took us only 4 hrs to get to our end point, a small casa with private bathroom,.... In Hornitos del Camino...
