Turning 17 km into 22

Well we had a very short day planned, so we left Pueyo de Fananas at a leisurely hour and pace. Somehow we missed an arrow and wound up walking in the wrong direction. Yes, I know, I have a GPS but I have messed it up somehow and can't find the tracks I loaded. 

So we found our way back to the Camino the old fashioned way -- flag down a car and ask for help. And soon we were pointed in the right direction and on our way to Huesca. 


The mountains were almost always in view and we can across an old shepherds' hut that had been used by POUM (anarchists?) in the Spanish civil war. (Their initials engraved at the entrance):


So even with our 5 km error, we arrived at the albergue before noon and had a long wait till the person in charge came down to open up. But hey, we're not walking. 


Tomorrow is another long day-- 40 km according to official tallies, but they are usually short. In any case we will have a good rest today and be ready to go tomorrow. 

P.s. if you saw The Way, these bales may remind you of a funny scene:
