Arrived in Astorga!

The chill in the air this morning nipped at my nose, knuckles and knees as I set off for the last 9 miles of the meseta which would take me to Astorga!! For sure the time is coming for long pants and long sleeved tops.
I thought it fitting that the last stamp on the front of my credential would be from this beautiful city.
Last night I stayed in Hospital de Oriego and exchanged my comfy single room in another hostel for a bunk bed in Auberge Verde (!!) so I could hang out with friends and enjoy a vegan meal produced from their "overflowing with goodness" hothouses and I'm so glad I did! It was a fabulously delicious evening 😊
Now I'm off to explore...
My hotel is an old family home which has been restored and converted! I was welcomed warmly by a sweet old chap, 15th generation!!! If I could carry their wooden floors home on my back I would!!!!!
