[QUOTE="Undermanager, post: 515835, member: 46206"] Day 22 San Juan de Villapanada - Cornellana - Salas - Bodenaya - 30kms Today was a very enjoyable day. It started very misty and overcast but within a few hours, it had warmed up and was mostly blue sky. People started getting up at 5.30am this morning, which was a bit of a shocker but if you can't beat them join them. I was up, breakfasted and out the door by 6.30am. The first half hour is upwards, which gets the juices flowing then it becomes fairly rolling, and is mostly along roads until you get to Cornellana after about two hours. There were half a dozen cafes to pick from and a couple of bakeries so had a good coffee and breakfast in one of them. Then I set off, past the monastery where there is an albergue. I met someone who stayed there and they really liked it and the experience. The whole place seemed nice enough for a stay and tour busses were arriving full of tourists so it must be interesting! After breakfast, I moved on to Salas, about three hours away, a little town I liked very much. Walk into the small centre and take your pick of bars for lunch. I selected the busy one on the far right, where I had a warm welcome, a great sandwich and a free banana and sandwich in a packed lunch when I paid. Class! After half an hour, I started the walk to the final destination, the albergue in Bodenaya. It took over two hours, is all uphill, mostly through forest and is quite exhausting. It is also a very beautiful walk. Take plenty of water! The albergue is excellent and interesting. It got quickly full whilst I was there and with good reason, although if you do arrive and can't get in, there are two more albergues just a kilometre or two further along the Camino in La Espina so all is not lost. The albergue is set just before the start of La Estonia in the countryside and has a strong 'family of pilgrims' philosophy, is by donation only, dinner and breakfast are taken together 'as a family' and even washing your clothes is done by the albergue! It's a tidy, clean, interestingly designed place run by a couple of nice guys and would thoroughly recommend that you try to make the effort to plan your Camino so you can stay there. Be prepared for some long, intensive listening sessions delivered by the host, though. This may not be what you want if you are very hungry and tired! If you lack resilience and patience, consider walking on to La Espina! Today has been a really good, hard day and am already looking forward to tomorrow. You quickly reach a point doing a Camino, perhaps after a week, where every day is a real buzz. I reached that point a long time ago! [/QUOTE]
