Day in Villafranca del Bierzo

Rest day and tonight we stay in an Albergue here, the "de la Piedra". Hopefully the "piedra" does  not refer to the beds, since it translates to rock. We get a room with a single bed and a double bunk. We are now discussing who gets what although we have not actually seen the room and can't until 1 PM when the albergue opens.

Just registered and the albergue is great! Private room with double bed and upper bunk. The word "piedra  really means rock, and refers to the rocks intruding into the building to beautiful artistic effect, not to the beds, which seem very comfortable. My sister Lisa would approve, I believe. She and her husband George went to great pains to identify and install a rock in the center of their house in Malmsbury, Australia. 

Also, who can resist a place when you are greeted by a friendly dog?
