[QUOTE="roving_rufus, post: 1094667, member: 21017"] Wednesday 11th January Rain... Miranda do Ebro, even a fairly industrial city, looked well in winter sun yesterday but this morning in the grey rain looked dreary. It's interesting how weather can shape how we view a place. Crossing the river, the camino is about 3km out through suburbs and the subsumed village of Oron on footpath by the road, till at the very edge the hospital named for Santiago (with of course a metal sculpture of a pilgrim). I doubt the rain really diminished this first part but now the rain and grey heading out into the countryside was limiting the views. But at least the camino left concrete/brick pavement and was now onto tracks. The rain let up just as I turned before Bugedo onto another lane but this time i was being taken closer and closer to the motorway. Ameyugo provides a dry spot for a break- the bar may not yet be open as not yet noon but its covered porch was perfect and the toilets open. Wandering through the village it is clear in its past it was wealthy with a grand church and other buildings, not surprising given the gorge was a major roadway for travellers fo centuries. But these days with the N1, railway and motorway all bypassing Ameyugo its a quiet place - yet the gorge is busier than ever with all this modern infrastructure squeezing through. Leaving Ameyugo its back to track, then the rain tries to come on and I decide to shelter in the motorway service station which has a helpful pedestrian gate into it. Having dried considerable, I didn't want to get wet again, but the rain shower passed quickly by, though the cost for a lukewarm weak coffee was high and not worth the 3 minutes of rain. Another kilometre of track before a lovely little path takes pilgrims through the gorge, passing the ermitage of Santo Cristo, then a narrow point in the gorge with room for path, river and the N1 road. At this point Pancorbo is getting close but on foot it takes some negotiation of rail, river and road to reach the town. The old town centre is quite pleasant but the railway, N1 and motorway are now the defining features. So I am in a roadside hostal rather than albergue, as less than great past reviews of albergue and the forecast of rain made me less than enthusiastic to try it. Instead the hostal is warm and clean, the restaurant full at lunchtime with truck drivers and workers, but noisy due to road - but a bath with a plug is a treat! Glad the rain passed quicker than expected today to enjoy the gorge, even with roads this is quite a lovely stage! [/QUOTE]
