Day 26 ~ May 14

Hard to believe, but after today we have only 160 miles left to Santiago! Today was a very long day that reintroduced topography to our trekking experience. We left Villadanga del Parma at 6:30 am. Three towns and seven hours later we reached our destination. Ciudad Astorga. There, Kathie and Alecia were able to tour the 15th century Cathedral. The rest of us snacked on wine and cheese!

While climbing a modest total of 750 vertical feet, when combined with a 33 km distance (20 miles)and a warm and sunny day, it was a tiring experience. No one will have to be rocked to sleep tonight! Buen Camino.
