This is the last stop before Santiago, It is my last stop before I am transformed from a pilgrim to a tourist. In a way I am not looking forward to it. As a pilgrim, if you see some people seated at a table in a restaurant and there is a spare seat, you can say can I join you and you have new friends, As a tourist that isn’t acceptable. I
mau get lonely. I also have to begin eating and drinking less. The trail is very nice but very crowded and the towns are modern. It is scenic but it lacks the midieval towns. There are many more young people who started at Sarria or other towns.
I found Beth again, a very nice lady who I met 20 days ago but then lost when she left Leon the day before I did. The women with the dog ,benjy, has camped every night because they dont allow dogs in the Auberques.
It is also more commercial, this place advertises itself as a beer garden. Those are empty beer bottles
