Day 32 Ponferrada - Cacabelo

Walked between lots of vineyards and admired many large gardens.  The roses are all in bloom in the yards - some standing straight and tall and others tumbling over fences.  We are walking several short days (16.7 km today) before we climb again to go over O´Cebreiro - 1330 meters.  Here in Cacabelo (sounds disgusting!) the Municipal Albergue is very different.  It is built around a Church.  They have used the stone wall surrounding the Church as the back wall and put another wall about 8´ closer to the Church all the way around.  They have added doors and partitions so everyone has a 2 bed cubicle but the side partitions do not go up to the roof.  They call it "chalet style".  You can hear everyone but you can´t see them.  We have a whole new set of pilgrims here today.  They are younger and walk much faster and further than we do.  Every now and then we see a familiar face, which is nice!  Buen Camino!
