The sun is shining out of a beautiful wide and blue sky, it is getting warmer with each day. It is a pure joy to start walking under such a sky in the morning.
The countryside is still
almost flat, cornfields as far as the eye can see, the "Picos de Europa", a large stretch of higher mountains, north of the flat meseta, appear at the horizon. Some are still snowtopped.
The nice hostel is in a house built out of
brick clay, the typical construction material of this region.
I meet Jean-Pierre again, the nice frenchman who took care of the hostel in Villamayor de Monjardín and is now working here - we have a great dinner this evening, six people from France and a mother with her daughter from Canada - they make some of the best Crêpes I have ever eaten...
