Arrived in Alfaro to our first stay in a pilgrim-only albergue, free of cost. It was a lovely three bedroom home, and since we’re walking the Jacobean route we were the only people there! The peace and quiet was a blessing, although we played music and danced around, hooped and juggled for a while. After a long day of walking through a torrential downpour with high winds we were a little delirious. A long, warm bath perked us right up, and eased those sore muscles.
