Day #11: Rest day in Sarria


King Crabby-Pants  
Aka King Alfonzo reigning over this area

Streets are very clean and quiet here

Here is the only remaining Tower from the Castle of Sarria. The original castle was pillaged in the civil war during a peasant rebellion against the aristocracy in the 15th century.  Maybe that's why King Alfonzo looks so cranky?

There is a huge cemetery and masoleum that dates back to the 1800 from what I could read from the tombstones. 

We will have dinner in one of these outside cafés. Another gorgeous day!

Tomorrow is the end of rest day. We walk 10.4 miles to our next stop in Mercadoiro. We are staying in a private albuque (hostel). It has 30 beds and We reserved a private room & bath 3 weeks ago but there was a bit of a language barrier today when I called to confirm the room, so we may end up in the dormitory. I wish I paid more attention in my high school Spanish class. 

Adios.

  3. This looks like a lovely area. It's good that you took a few days to relax. Enjoy Mothers Day! Hope you ended up with the private 'suite'.
    Love The Bridles in Hudson.
