Xunqueria de Ambia 24 September 2023

 Not because it is Sunday, but due to my long walk yesterday, I only walked nine miles today to Xunqueria de Ambia, arriving about 11 am to a closed albergue. Left backpack and had a café con leche at the local bar and visited the Romanesque Church. The albergue was unlocked when I returned. On my first Camino in 2009, the Xunta de Galicia albergues were dirty, crowded, and to be avoided if possible.Over the years, constant upgrading has now left most of them being the most spacious and comfortable albergues on the Camino.

A horreo, a Galician granary. The pillars and flat slabs are designed to keep vermin out. Ear corn is hung inside to dry and the sides are slatted to let the air move through.
