Early start at 7 left me with crossing a forest in the dark but also a beautiful sunrise over the coast.
In the morning I mostly walked with Andrew.
Arriving to Castro Urdiales I hit the pharmacy again for a knee support. I have to say it worked well. I left Castro around noon after some food shopping and kept the pace with others: Andrew, Sven and Jen only caught up with me when I took some rest. When we got to Islares – the village I was aiming for after passing Castro – I went on for Guriezo. The albergue is a bit run down but supposedly still better than the one in Islares.
Totalled this day at 28k in 8 and a half hours. It seems I can not stick to having a lighter day 🙂
Planning for the next two days was fun there are so many combinations to pick from …
