Day 12/27 Cacabelos- Villafranca del Bierzo

Feels like a day off as we only did 11k today. But we wanted to stay in Villafranca, and a good chance for Mike to carry his pack to see how his heel coped.

A really lovely walk again through many vineyards on either side of the trail.

Not much open as Sunday morning, but as we passed through Valtuille de Arriba, we discovered a lovely little garden spot just opening. We had coffee and croissants and befriended a gorgeous tortoiseshell cat.

We arrived into Villafranca at midday. Had a couple of vinos and pizza in the square and chilled out for the arvo. Caught up with Vicky & Brian for dinner.

Brian’s knee still not great but on improve. They are taking a few days off and then hope to continue at a slow pace. So as it goes on the Camino we probably won’t see them again.
