2022.0726.(Tue) Sanguesa-Monreal 26.9㎞ 16.8miles
Sanguesa and Monreal is 26km apart and there was no way for me to walk in one day. Had Taxi drop me off at Izco. Met Duch couple, Ton and Marga jest came into Izco. They had taken a bus to find a place to stay last night.
I left Izco and walking alone. Next village was Abinzano and met with a couple from Italy. While we were talking in Italian, a German guy and Spanish guy joined. 5 of us jointly left the village and walking together. This is my first experience in this Camino to walk with someone else. As we go along, we discussed many things and took pictures. The Italian couple became faster and German guy was 2nd. I and Spanish guy became the last. He said he would walk with me today and I was very happy to find someone who can walk with me. He was not able to speak English very well but it was nice to have someone could walk with me.
We arrived Monreal and went to their place of stay for the night. Ton/Marga stayed at the place as me. There was only one bar open for the evening in the village and all pilgrims in the village came to one place. Of course, I was the oldest.
今日の出発点と帰着点は26㎞離れているので、とても歩けません。タクシーに17㎞乗って、9㎞歩きました。Izcoという村でタクシーを降りると、Ton/Margaのカップルがやってきました。彼らは別の国道沿いのカミノを歩いたそうで、時々宿を探してバスに乗ったりもしたとのことでした。2㎞は一人で歩きましたが、Abinzanoという村でイタリア人のカップルがいたので話しているとドイツ人とスペイン人が追い付いてきて5人でわいわい言いながら5㎞ほど一緒に歩きました。私も速足で走る様に必死についていきました。この日は、風が強かったですが、一日中、標高1295ｍのHigaという山を見ながら歩きました。スペイン人の60歳ぐらいの人は、最後のMonrealの村まで私のペースに合わせてくれて、とても嬉しかったです。Monrealの宿は、Tom/Margaのカップルと同じでした。その日に開いているBarは一軒しかないので、その晩にこの村に泊まる巡礼は皆そこで食べ、記念写真を撮りました。勿論、私が最年長でした。
