Diary
Left Jaca at 8 for the 15 km walk to Sante Cilia. The route was initially gravel farm road which developed into a hilly rocky road. It was hot, going up to 33 degrees. Somehow I got lost behind the Aragon Hotel, and landed up walking about 5 km on the main road. In hindsight I followed the road signposts, not the walking signs which must have been not visible.
On arrival at the albergue, it was open but I found two pilgrims sitting at a bar drinking beers. I joined them. The barman kindly made us egg/tuna rolls. We made our way to the albergue where we washed (only cold water) and hit the beds.
We planned how to get to Juan de la Pena. The albergue did not have the communal dinner as expected and there are no shops in the town. We found a restaurant which made us a meal. Tomorrow the albergue will provide breakfast. Thank goodness for the restaurant. Food appears a problem on this day. I drank 6 beers today. Very very hot and dry.

Looking around the kitchen of the albergue, in the morning. Planning.
In the street, outside the bar in Sante Cilia, waiting for it to open.
In the evening we walked the town while waiting for the restaurant to open. We found people taking their birds for a time outside.
