Day 21

Today we came down another 1,500 ft into Ponferrada. It was a great day. No rain, cool weather, only 11 mi. The trail was still steep and rocky.

We got in to town about 2 pm and had a relaxing day touring and wandering around.

Walking thru smalll mountain village.

Ponferrada city gate.

Check in at St. Nicholas albergue.  178 beds. Donation only. We got assigned a 4 person room. 

We were the only ones in it!
