Camino Day 5

Date: May 22nd
Start: Santo de la Domingo
Stop: Villafranca de Montes Oca
Distance: 39 km
Weather: Rain and wind
Summary in one sentence: Hills+headwinds+rain+cold = short cycling day.

Nice early start with a loop north away from the Camino proper via Herramelluri to Belorado.  Winds, some sun and light showers.  At Belorado picked up lunch food and headed up the N120. Showers turned to heavy rain and before long I was pretty wet and cold.  Around noon arrived at Villafranca where I found a super B&B for €20.  It was a bit early to stop but they had me with the wood fire in fireplace.  Tidied myself up and laid out clothes to dry.  Around 2:00 the sun came out and wind abated!
