We walked from Granon to Espinosa Del Camino - another 15 mile day. After a rough night sleeping on mats in a large community we were looking for a smaller place to spend the night. Greeted by another blue sky canopy we arrived at La Campana and were greeted by our host - Pepe. Pepe was a paratrooper in the Spanish army many years ago and proudly dorned his hat for this picture. He also has walked the Camino 5 times and loved sharing his perspectives. Unfortunately he only spoke Spanish - but was so passionate that one could figure out a fair amount of what he was saying. It did make you wish you were fluent in Spanish to carry on a great conversation with this veteran.
Pepe's small Albergue hosted 4 other visitors upon our arrival - who spoke only French. So between French, Spanish and English we were going to have an interesting communal dinner. Then Tatiana arrived. A Russian lady who spoke all the languages fluently and maybe more. She translated in French, Spanish and English while taking notes in Russian - WOW.
