Salas to Bodenaya: Camino Primitivo Day 4, June 11, 2021

Day 4 from Salas and the albergue, Casa de Sueño, to Bodenaya 8km.

Another Camino angel today… More bananas, this time from the lady at the bar in Salas!

I loved Salas, it is a medieval town with a small tower and a gorgeous church.

We stayed in Casa de Sueño and slept like babies in the eco-built albergue constructed into the hillside… complete with rooftop garden.

The albergue is situated at the back of the lawn, it has a rooftop garden. The albergue is built into the hillside.

Due to all the rave reviews we heard about the albergue in Bodenaya, we decided to make a short 8km day of it today.

“I have lived with various Zen masters, and all of them were cats.” Eckart Tolle

The day was foggy, a slight chill in the air, perfect for walking up, up, up!

8km of twisting around the river, traipsing through farm land.

Reaching a crossroads, we decided to take the time to explore.

As we made the short trek downhill, the temperature dropped and the air turned more humid. There in front of us a beautiful trio of waterfalls; two kiddy waterfalls flanking the main fall.

It was the PNW, it was Ireland, it was the North of Spain… It was a magical fairy land no matter where!

In Bodenaya, population 32!!! David and Cecilia met us on the path, what gems! It’s like coming home, a super hippy home–once again, I’m reminded of Oregon, yet not — all in the same breath.

Two more Camino Angles, David and Celia, they win the highest honors for their open hearted generosity– welcoming us with a bowl of sopa de ajo and a slice of ‘welcome home’ along the trail!
