A wonderful stay at La Morena last night. We had a double room with a shared bath for 60€. The place is very clean and the staff works very hard to make you comfortable. The only real negative is the washing and drying facilities could be improved. There was a washing machine and dryer available first come first serve but only 1 sink for washing. There was a lot of clothesline but few clothespins. We had a nice lunch in the restaurant on the premises. Had a drink in the bar afterward which lets you mingle with the other pilgrims. Nice breakfast. We left around 8:00 and the weather was beautiful and there weren’t many pilgrims on the path. The beauty of the trail, the spring sun all the birds of the field made it a perfect day to walk. We stopped in San Nicolas and ran into Paddy and Rebekah Scott. Saw our first red poppies which will soon be blooming all over Spain. We also saw our first horse on the Camino though he was going in the opposite direction. We arrived at the Albergue de Santa Cruz at opening time (12:30) and we are looking forward to a special evening here. 7€ for a bed, 20€ for a double room. What a beautiful place. We are looking forward to the festivities! After arriving we went to the medical clinic to have Palma’s toe checked. She has a blister under her toe and the nail is coming off. The RN told her she should not be walking in boots for at least 3 days. We asked about open toe sandals and that was ok if she could stand it. So tomorrow we check it out. Two pilgrims staying here recognized us Hospitaleros in Burgos back in 2019. Pretty amazing. We went to a very nice mass with an excellent pilgrim’s blessing. Now we are waiting for the communal dinner.
