Pobeña-Castro Urdiales

I set out this morning with Oliver and Stefan, two Germans. The majority of the walk was alongside the coast which was beautiful. We arrived after only about 3 and a half hours to Castro Urdiales, an old fishing village. I guess it is more of a town than a village and is quite pretty. I planned to continue on with them about 7 more miles to the next albergue but we met up with two French Canadians who had reports that the next albergue is very bad (dirty?). So, I left my stuff at the albergue here and will have a nice day here in the town. It is the last day of the town festival so maybe there will be some activity connected with that. Or, I can sit by any number of the cafes along the water and hang around. Tomorrow will be a longer walk. Today it is pretty hot (in the 80s) but not as humid as at home and there is still an occaisional breeze which is quite nice. I will walk a few more days and Thurday I plan to go and visit my friends in Valladolid for a few days. It should be a nice break. I will try to post some pictures then.
