May 2, 2017 – 13 miles (21 Km) Sun was out and it was a bit cool this morning. We left Astorga and walked up a gradual hill to Rabanal del Camino. We had a coffee stop in El Ganso, where a friend, Angel grew up. We met the coffee shop owners, very nice and welcoming. It started getting pretty warm as we went up the hill and finally arrived to Rabanal del Camino. A very cute, small town. We got here early, and there was a bar/restaurant at the start of the town, so we just watched the other pilgrims walk in while we had lunch. Very cool. Everyone you see walking around are other pilgrims. No locals. We’ve been seeing a lot of the same faces again, and every now and then someone from a few weeks ago. Tomorrow we have a big day, the longest walk for us, 20+ miles. So we’ll be off to bed early tonight!! Hopefully the town shuts down early too!!
