Wednesday, August 7: Villafranca del Bierzo to Vega de Valcarce

18.1km today. It would have been a really easy day except for the rain. 


It started sprinkling as soon as we left the hotel. Stene chose to go the mountain path and I chose the shorter flatter road path. 


The rain was not heavy, not even enough to get my pant legs and boots wet. 


People do eat the snails! I checked out what this guy was up to and he was using a stick to pick the snails out of the cracks in the rocks. He called them Caracoles and had about two dozen in his plastic grocery bag. I wonder how he cooks them?


 I stayed in the municipal albergue on another uncomfortable flattened foam mattress. I made chicken piccata pasta for dinner with a salad of just tomatoes with oil an vinegar.
