Today we meet our first Austrian pilgrim, Wolfgang, sitting on the side of the road and airing his feet. We exchange information and discover that he has started out from Pavia and is in his second week of travel and that he is using Eurovia guides that list a religious hostel near Villafranca I know nothing about. I take details and we move on, only to meet him minutes later because we have been stopped by a fallen tree
across the track. We have no alternative but to take the SS road up to Filleta and ultimately Villa Franca.
We meet Wolfgang again outside the hostel where he is waiting for someone to arrive, so we decide to tether Nellie and sit down and wait with him - only to discover that it has stopped taking pilgrims. Now our only option is to try the camping site, even though Wolfgang has no tent and we have no idea if the camp-site will accept horses. A doubtful situation that is finally positive – Nellie is given a field to roam in and we give Wolfgang her rugs to sleep on.
Accommodation – rating – Good but at 25 euros for 3 people and one tent (cold showers too!) expensive.
