This is a beautiful walk through many ancient villages. When I reached Mombuey, I had a meal in the bar and stocked up at the local shops.  There are no other bars or shops for the next 27 kilometres.  There is a municipal hostel in Mombuey but it looked in very poor condition.

I walked on to the next village,  Cernadilla. I found three old people sitting in the evening sun, on a deserted main street.  They told me that there were very few people left, that the church and the hostel were closed and that I must walk on to the next village,  San Salvador de Palazuelo.

San Salvador is a  more substantial,  with a small hostel at the bottom of the hill, near the church.
