We left Santo Domingo at 7, as we have been doing. It's actually a little later than in previous caminos, but the sun is almost up when we leave and the walking is good. We walked along through various little villages and grabbed a bite of breakfast along the way. (Stopped at the first food we found, then later discovered that there was an actual inside bar by the church that we could have eaten at. 😒 But live and learn.) We arrived in Belorado, the "stage end" town in several guides, about 1:00 and found long lines in front of various albergues. Several pensiones were full up as well.
We struck out for the lovely village of Villambistia and the Hotel Rural Casa de Los Deseos. As this is a small village the hotel offers a menu for supper and also a small (traditional for Spain) breakfast. We really enjoyed our supper! And since we have "broken the stages" we aren't surrounded by crowds. We don't expect that we will hear people in the next room hooting and hollering after 9 pm either. (In fairness, when the bedtime/lights off time of 10 pm arrived last night, everyone got quiet. And the famous chickens of Santo Domingo are surprisingly good neighbors!)
