Did 20.5km today from Ponferrada to Villafranca del Bierzo. The Camino Frances is much more commercial than the Via de la Plata with even the smallest villages with virtually no permanent inhabitants having at least a couple of bars and albergues to relieve the pilgrims of their money. I was stopped twice on the road today by drivers in their 4x4s handing out fliers advertising their facilities. These are the modern day versions of the footpads and cutpurses that plagued the pilgrims in the middle ages.
Tomorrow another 20km or so before the big climb up O Cebreiro the following day.
