De la plata
Tips for VdlP: I am managing without a book but if they weren't so expensive I would suggest you get one. Times lost: 4 ie one per day. Not terrible but takes time and energy.
All albergues so far fantastic: La Luz in Guilenna, municipal ones in Castilblanco, Almadén and Monesterio.
When entering Monesterio, ie the final section where you are walking the same way as the motorway, there is a pretty path right beside, most of the way, through avenues of plane trees and wild flowers, that is much better than the hard shoulder, but you do have to keep your eyes open for the yellow arrows. Other pilgrims missed it, and on days like today it saves your sore feet a little and offers some shade.
Enjoy!
