Woke up this morning after a reasonable nights sleep and was down at breakfast at the usual hour of 8:00am. This becomes the schedule because the bag transport people want your bag at the desk by that time. As I ate breakfast there was a light mist and drizzle going on, but when I went upstairs to get ready to leave, it was raining vigorously. Today’s walk would have been quite long with two possible routes, one through the mountains with no possible facilities, and with rain and clouds, no views. The other following a secondary road and cutting back and forth with lots of up and down. Given that I was already feeling wet to my underwear by the time I got to the train station, I knew I had made the right choice to pass on 5 hours of walking in the rain. With transport options limited I booked it uphill a fair distance to get to the train station. Basically one train in the morning and one late afternoon. This is a single track, narrow gauge, really poky two car diesel train. I was getting concerned when no sign of the train appeared at the appointed time, but, about 15minutes late it did show up. Bought a ticket on board to Cadaveu, for 1.50E, figuring if the rain lightened up, I would get off a little early and walk the last section. What I didn’t realize was that absent a request to stop or a passenger waiting the train didn’t so much as pause. Luckily the conductor was clear where I wanted to get off and there was a change of engineer so it did stop and my station. Found the hotel, no one around so went nearby for a coffee and warm up. Back to the hotel and called the phone number, they graciously gave me door code to get in and sent someone over to give my room even though it was before noon. Lovely old building, Casa Roja, restored, and I have a room under the eaves which could prove hazardous to my head if I get up too quickly. This town has lots of pilgrim accommodations, a number of restaurants (4) and lots of Horreos. Horreos were built to keep grain safe from mold and from rats and pests. Horreos Wikipedia Apparently if they are mor than 100 yrs old the have to be preserved. Sun finally arrived mid afternoon. I found a great Chicken and fries lunch at one of the local restaurants, although had to wait until 1:00pm for the kitchen to open.
