Day 7 Lorca to Los Arcos (March 25)

The folks at the albergue were kind enough to get up and make us cafe con leche and toast this morning. We left around 0830 and had intended to make it to Irache and get a hotel. But we were making good time with the Irish pilgrims and decided to forge ahead. It was great to see the wine spigot and fill our bottle a bit. No lines, no busloads. We did stop in the hotel and they gave us access to the coffee machine and the bathroom which was great. We arrived in Los Arcos around 1815 and made the mistake of stopping in the first Albergue we came to because we were tired. A young South African woman gave us good advice the next day to pass the first albergue by. She stayed at the last albergue and there were only two people staying there. There were lots of pilgrims in the albergue we stayed in, which was okay because we ran into many we had met before. It was a very noisy night - 2 snorers who could wake the dead. At breakfast Billy and Christine (Irish) were pushing to Navarette. They are on a tighter schedule than we are to we said farewell to them.
