Villafranca to Ages: September 23rd

Friday was another short day (16 k) because of the steep climbs and descents.  This one scared us a bit but it looked worse than it was.

It didn’t rain but was misty all morning.  The sign post below reads Santiago 532 kilometers!  We’really making progress.

imageWe haven’t seen cows since the the first week on the Camino and we never saw them this close.  They are free range cattle and were just hanging out on the Camino path.

 

 

 

We arrived in Ages too early to get into the Albergue so we explored the town.  It was a pretty little town but not as friendly as some we’ve visited.

I think we missed the stork’s nest in the video, here it is on the bell tower.

 

 

 

 

The people really were not very friendly except the man who owned the albergue we stayed in.  He was very nice and we had a terrific dinner with a couple from South Africa.

  1. Thank you for your kind words. Little did we know how often we would see you again after this, our first meeting. You were a very special Camino couple for us. We valued the contact with you and are following your Machu Pichu adventures with great interest. Perhaps a trip to South Africa in the future!
