For todays walk we woke at 5.30 and set off through the streets of Ponferrada at 6.30ish. The beginning of the walk confused me alot in terms of direction as at points I thought we were walking back on ourselves.
However, after we walked up further into the mountains the scenery became better however the sun was strong and very hot today! Walking through the vine yards andf going up and down steep hills was hard work but eventually Villafranca appeared in the valley.
The albergue we chose was on the other side of town called ´de la piedra´. It is really nice and is built into a cliff face. We have basically our own room which has a mini balcony looking out onto the river and Street. The shower is also AWESOME. It had a huge shower head and then little mini shower jets on the side. It is a very nice albergue indeed! (It also had a kitchen which I think we´re making use of for tea).
