2015-10-09 Caminando Montamarta - Tábara (29/119)

Left Montamarta together with one of the Basque men after  having had breakfast at the restaurant near the bridge. Just after the bridge his intention was to walk the camino to Astorga mine to take the the roadside of the highway to Tábara to solve my cash problems.


After a set of crossings I reached the highway and the bridge across the dam. Narrow highway shoulders narrow walking space across the bridge. It's an old bridge and I understood later that they most likely are building a new one to replace it. Just across the bridge there was a summer house area for those well to do, But I left all this and continued my way.

Had lunch at the village of Pozuelo de Tábara. A quick one and then more roadside until I reached Tàbara. Ahhh! A cachero at the road cross. My worries are over. Just to discover that it was out of order. Walked aimlessly into the small city. Saw a sign with lodging for pilgrims and was - as usual - hijacked by the owner. Got a room on my own.
Soon came another person. He proved to be a Norwegian psychiatrist with roots in Holland. So Swedish could be spoken. Another younger couple arrived. She a German with relatives in Sweden. He a Mexican that worked as a teacher in Germany (professor?) They had met on the Camino. I would have liked to know them better.
I walked around the city and met some more of the walking pilgrims that my new friends knew, a French couple.
Fairly late we had dinner at the restaurant connected to the hostel. A good night together but  I felt that my body told me about coming problems.
