It was very hot across the plateau at the top and on that last 4-5km into Astorga, but I wouldn't have missed that back-country route for anything- one of the highlights of the Camino landscapes for me.Kiwi Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351034705766073667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142652384297171142.post-75112589018382765412011-07-22T16:23:30.493+12:002011-07-22T16:23:30.493+12:00Yes, the municple albergue on top or the hill at t...Yes, the municple albergue on top or the hill at the entrance to Astorga was very nice, and followed the edge of the cliff in the back, where I hung laundry.
