We knew it would be rainy most of the day so we woke up late and made a big breakfast.

Check-out time wasn’t until noon, so there was also a second breakfast. We packed up our stuff and cleared out of our room, and they allowed us to hang out in the common room for the afternoon. We still had to do our resupply shopping, so at 5pm we walked over to the grocery store when they reopened. Most shops in Spain respect the Siesta and close from 2 to 5 pm. After some grocery shopping and grabbing a quick meal at the cafe next door, we walked out of town. Goodbye, hostel.

It was mostly an easy uphill walk on an old dirt road.

The rain had stopped at 6pm, but the clouds still hung around. After hiking uphill for an hour, we could see all the way down into town.

After walking a little further, we could even see up the valley that we had spent all yesterday afternoon hiking down.

After 2 hours of walking we came across this little cabin at a ski resort, and decided to camp there for the night.

Usually I prefer to sleep in my tent, but it was expected to be very cold that night. Like 1°C cold. It had two bunks, and was the perfect place to escape from the wind. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny but cold.
