Belorado to Villafranca de Montes de Orca

Very easy day today and we have an easy day planned for Saturday then on Sunday to walk to Burgos and stay for 2 nights.

We were having  cafe in Belorado and along came Manuel - we hadn't seen him in days.  We had dinner with him last night and walked together today.

Map only says Villafranca

Got rolling at 7:30 this morning, we slept in

Hay field and sun flowers

Fields of sun flowers

We stopped in Espinosa de Camino for breakfast. I had cafe con leche and a bocadilla con chorizo (sandwich) and Marilyn had a tortilla con chorizo (egg and chorizo omelet on bread) and tea


The chorizo is very good

9th century ruins Monastario de San Felix de Orca. 

Marilyn's bed in Albergue San Anton Abad, a beautiful place. The albergue is part of an exclusive hotel. Our beds are 10 euros each. Bunk beds were 5 euros, we went for the big bucks and got single beds in our own cubical.  The hotel rooms are $93 per night for 2 - not in the budget.

The path leaving town tomorrow is just outside the court yard, we start off with a climb. We plan to go 11-12 miles  into Atapuerta 
 

We don't have a reservation for tomorrow so hopefully rooms will be available when we get there!
