Day 5: Pola de Allande – Berducedo

I started early in the dark and followed the gpx tracks on my phone. There were some houses and two dogs, that barked loudly and seemed more upset about me than the other dogs on the Camino. I went by and a few hundred meters later my way ended. OK, I thought… My gpx tracks are outdated and the dogs were not used to pilgrims. So I went back and followed the right way.

Then there was the longest rise until now. And there were cows as well.

And a nice scenery.

Then downwards again. So I arrived early in Berducedo. The village is in a valley and I had no internet or phone connection. The wifi of the pension did not work as well. That was bad, because I had an important phone call where I should apply for a longterm project directly with the company Sap… What is something special. OK… So I walk up the hill again and waited in the forest for the call… Call should be at 15.00 and weather forecast says no rain until 17.00… So that is OK. At 1450 the rain began… The phone call was OK, but I could not answer all technical question. They want to notify me on Friday.

At the end I was wet… And the funny detail was that the sun was shining again as I arrived in the albergue.
