Day 19, Itero to Poblacion de Campos

Any early start (7:03) and while I didn’t see the sunrise, I enjoyed this anticipation.

Our hike today was 17 km along pretty flat terrain. We stopped for cafe con leche at this really beautiful Albergue in Bodilla del Camino

There were several pieces of metal artwork there. Here is one of a pilgrim trying to deal with the never-ending plague of blisters

After a 30 minute rest we were all back on our feet and off again!

We arrived at our planned albergue in Poblacion de Campos after searching all over town. I think we added at least 2 km to our hike. It was worth it though because this is undeniably the best albergue so far. Each bed has its own curtained compartment with a light and a plug and a locker that can be locked. The showers and toilets are segregated by sex and everything appears brand new!! What a welcome oasis! We will have the pilgrim dinner tonight with our fellow pilgrims and together the bed and dinner costs 20€.

I took my shower, washed my clothes and now I will take a nap before dinner. Did I mention that I came down with a hideous cold and accompanying cough. Hope it is better tomorrow🙏
