Today was a pleasant enough walk, without being remarkable. We did manage to walk through some quaint villages today and had a drink at the iconic Cowboy Bar in El Ganso. The most noticeable aspect was the ever rising elevation, and we are now starting to get into more mountainous country. Associated with this, whilst initially quite warm, we can certainly notice a drop in temperature this afternoon.
We are staying in the lovely village of Rabanal del Camino. Like many small Spanish villages, the major industry appears to be supporting pilgrims with accommodation and food. We are staying at a beautiful little hostal called Posada de Gaspar. Our afternoon and evening has consisted of eating and drinking with other pilgrims.
Tomorrow is going to be a tough 26 kilometre walk to Molinaseca, although the temperature is predicted to be much lower than today (high of 22 degrees and a low of 4 degrees).
