Set off from Rubiaes in drizzly weather. Uphill, downhill, through cobbled stone streams. Vines and young mealies gave way to forests and then suddenly to scrub.
Had many coffees and pastries. Took off the rain poncho and put it on many times. Planned to stop at Valencia and do the tourist thing but too tired and cold. Got lost, eventually found albergue – with Dutch Marie-Louise and daughter Albertina, and the Irish girls.
