Walked from Sante Cilia to Arres, but again got lost. Ended up walking 20 km instead of 10. Thank goodness I was not walking with my backpack as Correos had taken it for me.
Walked up a hill to the albergue right at the top. It was a long hot road. I do not know where I went wrong. In hindsight, I think I followed a road sign for the Camino, and not a walker's sign. I think it was when I had been into Puenta de la Reina de Jaca, to a garage bar, for a coffee. On returning to the route, when I crossed the bridge to join the road, I missed the sign.
The hospitalero took us on a tour of the hilltop settlement where everything is old. Saw an old private church, especially unlocked for us. Went to an exhibition of paintings of flowers in the area.
I am now sitting at a magician show. It is outdoors. It is still light. He is speaking all in Spanish which I do not understand. He is working magic with a pack of cards. I guess every person in this settlement has come to attend the show. According to Wikipedia this town had a population of 41 in 2020. But I think it is a public holiday as it is St James Day, and families are visiting. The magician has the people in the palm of his hand. Good repartee!
Such a lovely donativo albergue. Barbara had come from Italy to serve. Supper and breakfast were magnificent.
I saw Barbara making tortellini. Lovely food.
Just two women here, and two guys in the other dorm. There was other accommodation in the town where one guy stayed. I met him the next morning.
My big regret on this Camino was that I did not put enough into the donativo box at this albergue.
