[QUOTE="Undermanager, post: 516209, member: 46206"] Day 23 Bodenaya - La Espina - Tineo - Campiello - Borres - 28kms Music awoke everyone in the Albergue at about 6.15am. The family got up together, collected their laundry, packed, went to the bathroom, had breakfast, had their hugs and said their goodbyes to the hostel guys and left. The weather is great, cool with enough cloud cover to keep it that way for nearly all the day. It's a steady climb to start with, through La Espina and onwards to Tineo, two and a half hours after starting. You are walking on dirt track, through forest and a little bit on roads and it's all very pleasant. As you follow the Camino into Tineo, there is a great artisan baker on the corner when you turn 90 degrees right, next to the municipal building. If you want to go to the supermarket, follow the road down the steep high street with the artisan baker on the right for five minutes to the bottom, and then it's 50 metres in front of you on the left. I stocked up on what I needed here rather than Campiello - lots more variety and a lot cheaper, but of course, you have to carry it further! The climb continues another 13kms to Campiello though forest, over country tracks and along roads and it took about three hours. It's all uphill for about 11kms, then you reach a high point, you drop down onto a road and walk along that for about 2kms to Campiello. This is a nice place, with a couple of albergues, a large shop, a few restaurants and is very pleasant. It has servicing the needs of pilgrims about to do the next hard stage of the Camino down to a fine art and looks like a nice place to stop. The shop is more expensive here than Tineo, so if money is too tight to mention, shop there. I carried on to Borres, however, to the municipal albergue, about another 3kms mostly downhill. Smart move. It's a basic hostel but perfectly fine despite some rubbish reviews, with a microwave although but no fridge so don't bring anything that has to be kept cool for too long. It has two showers and toilets, a washing area and about 20 beds. The views are just fantastic and one side of the albergue is glass, so you get great views from many of the beds. It's €5 for the night. Just before Borres is a fountain. Go left up to the lovely little bar in the village five minutes away to register and for your stamp, then walk back to the fountain and take the other path for five minutes up to the albergue. It was busy but not full today so people registered as soon as possible. Many of the lovely people I spent yesterday with are here so it's a nice atmosphere. The bar does restaurant meals, had excellent wifi and a nice veranda to sit on, drink and admire the distant mountains. It's also next to a lot of cow shit from somewhere so the smells are rich and the flies a constant pain. It's going to be a long, hard day doing the mountain route tomorrow. The plan is to make a very early start and go for a good pace, to walk when it is as cool as possible. Another really wonderful day. [/QUOTE]
