What do pilgrims do to pass the time in the afternoon?

les pélerins l’après midi sont dans leur lit  surtout les ESPAGNOL de crainte de ne pouvoir trouver de place dans les lieux d’hebergement     seulement quelques pélerins visitent l’Espagne Historique surtout des Pélerins Européens qui ne font eux pas la sieste et pour qui le  Pélerinage constitue une Etape Historique et Sociale de leur Vie ainsi que de savoir  aimer  les temps forts de ce chemin   jmdouvier

Lisbon credencia at the Se cathedral. They look for a donation. Buses are good. Buy a ticket at the airport for E3.50 which lasts 24 hours on buses and trams!

Usually a combination of shopping/scouting for groceries/dinner and laundry, naps and fascinating conversation with people from all over the world. In cities like Burgos, one could spend several days touring the cathedral and other historic or religious sites. I never found myself bored….quite the contrary

First of all, you don’t have to stop at 2, or even better, start walking at 5 am, like I did, and stopping at 2 or 3 is just perfect. Then, grab a beer and start talking to other pilgrims. There’s no small talk on the Camino. Conversations are fascinating and open hearted. The cities, towns and villages are beautiful. And a mid afternoon cat nap never hurts. It’s never boring!!
