Left nice and early. 2 euro wine is definitely not my friend. Met an old guy at a fuente in a forest. He was gas, I think get was just a local who had cycled out there and was waiting for peregrinos to stop by so he could have a chat :) Emilio. He took a picture with us and we had to give him the dos besos and we were off again. We stopped for penny sweets in the town before Astorga. We were like kids! Astorga is a lovely little city. It's amazing how some places give you a bad feeling and you can be in other places a few minutes and instantly feel that you like it. Well, this city is famous for chocolate so really, what's not to like :) The cathedral here is beautiful and next to it is a building designed by Gaudi. There is a similar one in Leon. It looks like the castle that you see at the start of Disney films. I was knackered, didn't even have the energy to shower, passed out for an hour and woke up as stiff as a plank. Won't be doing that again. Went for lovely dinner and watched the Spain vs USA basketball final. Bought some chocolate :) Went to the plaza. The old people here are very sociable- all sitting around or walking around the plaza. And they are usually very glam and well put together. Bed early.
