| Sunflowers on the way to Ages, Spain |
Expenses (in euros):
Hostel, 9
Group dinner, 10
Groceries, 4
Coffee and tea, 4
Total: 27
Our decision to ship our bags in order to give our feet a rest was such a success yesterday, we decided to do it again today! With only light packs on our backs, it felt like we were flying down the trail today and we made it to Ages in record time. As an added bonus, much of today's hike was on 'natural paths', across rural fields and over wooded hills.
None of the hostels in Ages have kitchens so we were left with the option of purchasing dinner in Ages - which our guidebook tells me has a population of 60 people and not a lot of dinner options. Luckily, we were visiting a small bar and store down the street and the establishment's owner offered to cook us a regional dinner of vegetable soup, empanadas and mixed charcuterie for the bargain price of 6 euros per person.
So that's how we came to spend an unforgettable evening in a small restaurant and bar in rural Spain, enjoying a delicious private dinner, which we washed down with a few bottles of fabulous Spanish wine, and fantastic conversation with new acquaintances. Buen provecho, indeed!
