23kms from Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Belorado today. The weather was overcast and a little cool. Raul, Julian, Sarah and I checked into a little albergue on the side of church and cooked the most amazing dinner of artichokes, peppers, salad, white asparagus, and more bread! AMAZING!

First day walking! Massive hills, beautiful scenery! Melting snow. A few days earlier and we would have been walking as it snowed, but we brought the weather with us and its been 28 degree days since we arrived. The day took a little longer than expected to get to Roncevallis but when we arrived we were greeted by some very hospitable volunteers who manage a massive albergue (hostel for the pilgrims). It was a converted monastery and had all the things you need...
