Day 35 – May 7 Vega (Km 166) to O Cebreiro (Km 154) = 12 km Cumulative – 590 km
From Sue Schubert:
"It is still sunny and we are entering
Spain has around a dozen autonomous regions, and
This afternoon we enter
I must tell you about Jean, our front (wo)man, so to speak! Because Jean doesn´t hike, she arrives at our destination hours ahead of us. In the meantime, she has had time to find our hostal (today the Hostal O´Cebreiro),, register us and become acquainted. Where is the internet cafe (or a computer for rent)? She knows. Where should we eat lunch? She knows that, too. What sights should we see? Jean is our guide. She has evolved into the unofficial welcome wagon of each town we stay in--greeting and helping pilgrims in any way she can. Probably the funniest was when she arrived at the Brazilian Albergue ahead of us. She had had time to learn the ropes, welcome the pilgrims that Cristina, the owner, didn´t have time to welcome, show people to the dormitory, and, the next day before her taxi arrived, have time to clean the entire dormitory! Like Jean said, the albergues have very strict rules and everyone must be out by 8am. Since her taxi wasn´t arriving until 10, she had to get to work!"
