THE WAY OF ST JAMES: THE ROAD AS A TEST OF THE SOUL AND BODY (continued, part 5) Across the street is a bar "Rose" in which pleasant to miss a couple of cups. But, thanks to the excellent types of windows, the primacy of keeping private shelter on Mirador "in Portomarin. From the windows of the bar overlook the river, in addition, there has its own micro-brewery! We especially liked the evening when the restaurant was packed to rejection by local residents who came to watch a football match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. We liked the atmosphere because there is absolutely all - young and old - just crazy about football. We still remember the hotel in town Fonsebaddon (not far from the ridge Montes de Leon). Previously, there was an abandoned village, which is found only wild dog, and now there are several hotels and interesting atmosphere. Some kind of mystique attached to our stay there a thick fog, which did not disappear all the time, when we were there. Also, instead of the dogs there were so many cats that it might seem that they are in these places - the main inhabitants. Hotel manager tried to cure Zoey the technique of Reiki. (Reiki - one of the methods of spiritual healing, developed by Japanese Buddhist Mika Ussui. With the help of representatives of alternative medicine treat patients transferred by hand "energy." Ed.) In addition, he has not neglected and spiritualism, causing the usual medieval Scottish hero William Wallace and the central character of masterpieces of Dumas's D'Artagnan. Wild and absurd combination of ... Beautiful Burgos Some hotels seemed to us very strange, like a shelter "Ost Felix" in Villyafanse de Bierzo. They ran a completely insane man named Hezus. He was assisted by German and American, which is awfully similar to the English comedian Bill Bailey. The hotel we stayed in a cold attic, in addition, there was no water, but they were bedbugs. Cool! Bill treated the same cocktail dwarf cyclist "Green Dragon". It was a very strange drink, it was alcohol and even some drugs. This potion is clearly not helped the rider to his bike the next morning, even to go slowly he could not. We followed him and saw him several times fell. But the worst shelter, without a doubt, is in town Larrasona. They managed a very nervous woman, who seemed just hated the pilgrims because they create her discomfort with your presence. There has been a terribly cold and the beds were very bad. When we saw the "hostess" for the first time, she immediately began to check, does not violate anyone by its rules. She even no one greeted, as usual coming polite people. Luckily, that same evening we were lucky and we found a shop that belonged to a woman the Italian-Argentine origin. She gladly cooked us dinner right in on the trading floor. Dinner consisted of three dishes, and this despite the fact that somewhere on the second floor was giving birth to her cat! She also makes a stunning liqueur Oruho, it serves as a raw material for the grape pomace. Important things, tapas and hitchhiker's Day, when we walked across the mountain ridge Montes de Leon, became one of our best. We left the village Fonsebaddon in dense fog and began to climb the hill on the road to the Cruz de Ferro (Iron Cross). The idea of ??this cross, which stands on the great pyramid of stones, lies in the fact that the traveler leaves here his burden, which symbolizes the stone, brought from their homes, and go light. We left their stones, which brought with them from Britain, and it was delicious! From there we went with a light heart! The nature of these places is amazing. We managed to see lots of deer, deer and even an owl, which early in the morning hovering over us. Just a fairy tale! Cruz de Ferro Travel Ways of St James, partly because available because of cheap "set meal", which are prepared specially for the pilgrims. Usually, this menu is not more than 10 euros, you get three-course dinner and wine. The price also includes chips, so that after some time want to eat. In the city of Leon we liked tapas (snacks to beer or wine). You could just walk around town, walk into any bar and order a glass of wine and get free tapas to him. Tapas at each bar is different, and we realized that after visiting several bars and several servings of tapas, do not want to eat. Even more pleasant memories we have of that day when we were eating free cake and drank wine in the shelter of San Lazaro. This wonderful renovated facility for pilgrims, cute little shop here, great bar and excellent restaurant. There are great numbers, but they are slightly more expensive than the ones we could afford Fellow companions Start material: Completion of material:
