The bar I ended up in, Boveda 47 is run by the family Gato, and Maria, the delightful sister in charge, having heard my story, not only charged me far less than we'd run up on the tab but when I asked her about places to stay organised for her brother to drive me across to the local hostal (don't worry, from the bar to the hostal isn't on the route, so there's no cheating!) As ever the general warmth and decency of the Spaniards is very touching.
Now to give my feet some love. Night all.

Raising Money for the fight against Amyloidosis

- 800 Miles
- Just over a year ago my mother passed away after a valiant, but painful, fight against amyloidosis. I'm walking across Spain from North to South this summer to raise awareness of the disease and raise money to help in the fight for a cure.
