Hello! I've been walking just a few days and made it to Rabanal last night. I've got pretty acute Achilles pain and I'm looking for advice: for the pain and for moving forward.
Any recs for hiking with Achilles pain or is it all about rest?
Also, I want to walk forward. It might be really slow! I thought I'd head to el alcebo today for a short day of 14-15 k but I may only make it to Foncebadon (5k). I seem to be close to a lot of small towns but nothing the size of Leon or even astorga again for awhile. Does anyone have recs for a place to recuperate for a couple of days? A town or a not too expensive hostel that will allow me to stay? I hear there are a few places moving forward where there are NO places to stay and I've heard no buses come through this area. Any folks out there with suggestions of short distances or alternatives? I'd prefer not to take transportation and will rest if I have to but I don't want to get stuck either!
Thanks all for your help!
