Astorga to Rabanal del Camino

20km/12.3mi

We chose not to walk to Rabanal del Camino because the rain and wind from Hurricane Kirk was too bad. They suggested that pilgrims either stay where they were at (if they were able to) or take a bus/taxi to their next location. We walked to the bus station and after waiting for an hour the lady working at the us station forgot that the bus only runs to Rabanal del Camino on Monday & Thursday and of course today was Wednesday so she called us a taxi.

Our Hostel had a piano in their sitting area that was played by Frank Sinatra and we sat next to it as my brother cheated at checkers.🤣 We didn't stay long in that room because it was really cold!🥶

The monks at the church in Rabanal del Camino had beautiful vespers for the Pilgrims that night.
