This was a spectacular day and we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to the village of Villares de Orbigo that was hosting a special Sunday market and one of the resident was hosting a special breakfast for peregrinos. This was unexpected and delightful, with coffee tortillas, cheeses, cookies, etc. being served, and his house, which belonged to his grandfather was well preserved, with old relics of farm tools his grandfather made hanging on the wall. In the village there were vendors selling clothes, baked goods, fruit and vegetables. We bought a few vegetables and headed to our destination. Astorga is a larger town of 13,000 and is an archaeological dream, with well a preserved cathedral and many churches. And the town is crazy for chocolate and other candy products, with so many stores to choose from. See Pictures>>
