Today I walked my first stage from Puebla de Sanabria to Requejo. I am taking it slow, because I have had problems with my Achilles tendons for a long time and were not able to train. We'll see how it goes. The first stage went well, however my back complained quite a lot about my rather heavy pack (maybe I shouldn't have brought that electric coil and cup).
Albergue Casa Luz was great. Everything a pilgrim could ask for, including duvets on the beds. I didn't meet the owners as I arrived late. We were with 4 pilgrims in total (one biker, 2 other pilgrims walking faster than me).
I am the only pilgrim in albergue Casa Cerviño. In an hour or so 2 girls will arrive by car, the owner just told me. The albergue is totally fine. Fresh sheets, a little kitchen, a balcony, nothing to complain about.
As a vegetarian I had to be creative. There is no supermarket in Requejo. The local bar (a bit of an unfriendly lady) had some stuff, but hardly fresh fruits or vegetables. I bought an onion, garlic, canned beans and tomatoes and made something out of that (I am carrying olive oil and some herbs and spices).
