Leaving Cistierna, I was on familiar ground for a while because the Vadiniense (a camino I walked several years ago, which is also totally untravelled) passes through here.
A km or two after the bridge, though, we split.
Though I didn't walk by any coal mines today, I was paralleling the FEVE (narrow gauge RR) and occasionally these cute little cars filled with coal would go chugging by.
Though I'm walking alone I find that villagers are usually happy to talk for a while while I rest. And today I had a call from another peregrina who's currently walking the camino I walked last year. She says it's very hot-- not up here, thankfully. In fact I almost dug out my wool gloves today when I started walking because it was very chilly.
Under normal circumstances I might not be thrilled to have an afternoon to spend in Boñar, but last night I got an email from a friend who lives on the camino Francés and not too far away. She's planning to drive up for a visit-- lucky me!
This town is known for its cecina and it's sweets so I'll have to try some and report back.
