k round Villablinio for a supermarket this being the only town of any size on route today. Success a 10.5 Euros purchase sets me up with a loaf of Bimbo brown bread, sliced
queso, Iberico ham especiale. 2 small bottles of water, 2 bananas a tin of razor clams and a can of San Miguel 0%.About 10miles out of Villablinio found a picnic spot at the side of the road and tucked into my packed lunch of queso sandwiches with gorgeous Iberico ham and a still clod tin of San Miguel 0%. It was a hot morning / early afternoon and the sun was shining on my little picnic.
Just after the picnic passed 2 quarries for what looked like pulverised coal. One was taking out most of the hillside on one side of the valley.
A crazy narrow road just passed Torga for 20 miles or so saw me driving on the wrong side of the narrow road to get away from the not inconsiderable dropon my side of the road, luckily only saw 3 cars on that road. Barriers only appeared on very sharp corners whilst I was concerned enough about the normal corners and what little straights there were.
Passed through Fonsgrada with no sign of the campsite so doubling back on myself found the sign for the campsite, the campsite was literally ½ mile outside town. I was the only person on the whole campsite, no hot water in the showers but there is a gym on site who’s showers I can use. Wont bother tonight as it’s quite busy but will se if its open in the morning, otherwise another camping shower me thinks.
Took a trip into town to get my tea. Turns out what I ordered thinking was meat and chick pea pimento stew turned out to be tripe with chick peas. Now cant say I’ve ever had trips before but its not exactly one of my favourites with the texture and taste of chewy slimy fat so picked this out, at least the chick peas and sauce were nice. Dinner was washed down with some Estrella Galicia. Same make as Estrella Dam that I’m used to drinking in Barcelona but a slightly stronger flavour, not quite as sweet and made with water, barley malt, maize and hops. The other purchase of the night was a couple of pack of Nobel from the Tabac for 5 Euros.
Upon getting back to the campsite the sun was going down and was getting a bit nippy so time to get the fleece on, think I’ll wear it to bed tonight too. Turned out I was glad of the fleece last night and was still a bit cold despite this. Another Nobel to smoke before bed with a bat fluttering past my head also heard a rustling in the trees, shone my head torch in the direction and got a pair of eyes staring back at me, just a cat I thought untill a moment later a pine martin is staring me in the face some 2metres in front of me. Nearly shat myself but consider myself lucky to have seen it. Also luckily not up all night needing a piss after the beers.
