[QUOTE="Grizzlybero, post: 1188085, member: 110261"] The fog greets us again for the beginning of the day, mercifully without any accompanying precipitation. 18km to trek, all with the aim to position for a wonderful mountain top crossing tomorrow on the Hospitales route. Leaving Tineo a little after 9am as check in for the next albergue does not begin until 2pm. A beeline is made for the large supermarket in town, the last to be seen until a small store in Berducedo, 43km hither. Fortunately the albergue at Samblismo provides dinner and breakfast, so supplies are only needed for lunch today and tomorrow. With provisions secured and stowed, an easy climb awaits out of Tineo. Winding through beautiful forest, the first half of the walk is very enjoyable, as a misty forest always makes for a enveloping environment to get lost in your thoughts. As the fog clears toward lunchtime, the walk unfortunately spills on to a fairly busy road, and 6km of passing cars, tractors and the occasional truck make for a less pleasant tramp toward the end of the days proceedings. Fortunately lunch lifts the spirits, as more of Spain's fine produce finds a home in our stomachs, the freshness of the bread, and the flavour of the ham and cheese always brings a smile to the face. A short climb away from the road brings us to Samblismo albergue, a peaceful haven just metres from where the trail splits between the high and low routes for tomorrow. We had used WhatsApp the day prior to book in to this small hostel in the middle of the forest, and fortunate that we did as only 1 bed remained unoccupied. An easy afternoon relaxing and reading ensued, and at 7pm a rare treat for us on this hike as we were fed a 3 course dinner, complete with soup, paella and ice cream. Most of the inhabitants are heading for the high route tomorrow, it is shorter and easier than the low route, and the weather forecast is enticing, with no fog, wind or clouds to inhibit the exposed crossing. We will see... Total spend on day 5 for 2 people: €59 Total beds occupied in albergue: 11 Total road/concrete walking %: 35 [/QUOTE]
