Day 24 Foothills

Day
24
Date
Oct 2

Start
Astorga
End
Rabanal de Camino
Distance
21km
Elevation+-
1200ft

Today we transitioned from the plains to the forest and mountains. Uphill all day but not too steep.




Staying in a 6 room hostel near a small village.


There is an active Benedict monastery in town. You can hang out with the monks for 2 days if you're okay with not talking during the stay.




Rumour has it the monks do vespers sometimes. I did not find out when\if they do them.  Figuring out what non-talkative German monks are up to in rural Spain isn't easy.
