We dropped Peter at the bus station in Astorga and then wandered around for a bit to check out their Tuesday market.

 

Astorga is a cool town but we’re off to explore new territory. Up and over the mountains we head, trying not to run over any cycling peregrinos on the skinny, winding road.

The city of Ponferrada is also a cool town and has a muy bueno 12th century Templar castillo. It’s worth a stop.
