With the state of my toe it was prudent that I spend a rest day to allow it to heal and dry out. I booked a single room at a hotel near to the albergue.
This will allow me to dry out my rucksack and rest my feet. The town is very pretty and a bit of a tourist spot. Old cobblestone streets and quaint picturesque buildings, gives it a rustic vibe.
I had breakfast at small panadería that served an amazing croissant. Next was a trip to the farmacia to see if I can get hold of this gel for my blister, however in Spain I would need a prescription for it.
The tourist office opened at 1000h, after grabbing a stamp and finding the way to the supermarket, I stocked up on deodorant and soap. Next to it, was a bar, perfect place to hobble over to for a cold drink.
Then I took a stroll through the town, that now has come to life. If it wasn’t for my pilgrim walk, I would have been around it in 10min – it’s a small place.
As the bell from the church rang for 1200h, it signalled tortilla and beer time. Before long it was time to check into the hotel. A streak of sunlight from the Juliet balcony allowed me to dry my still wet rucksack and gear.
After a shower I lounged in the Sun on the terrace with a couple of beers, taking full advantage of a relaxing rest day on the Camino.
Hopefully tomorrow my blister will be dry enough to continue the Camino. I’ve bought some compeed on advice from the pharmacist, fingers crossed it will work.
