8 and 9 May Zamora to Riego del Camino. And to Tabara

Zamora to Riego del Camino 8 May 31 km then RdC to Tabara 9 May 32km. No wifi last night so 2 in 1 update. Yesterday from Zamora was a damp day but a good route up to Montamarta but after that first 17 km ushi a German lady who walked with me had to stop owing to a sore leg and shoulder. So she stayed there for the day and waited for some of the Camino crowd we have all been with the last few days as some planned to stop there. Unusually, I met up with the same group for the last few nights so much fun had with multiple languages. I carried on to RdC and met three others from the group as I left. Ultimately, we got to RdC ok but the track was very confusingly marked so we had to turn back a restart a couple of times. Even the AdP was hard to find. But got sorted in the end. AdP was clean and a little rustic but fine. The woman with the key also owned the bar and told us we could eat there at 7. Considering we had a magnificent meal in Zamora the previous night with excellent wine for 8 euros the 9 she charged for a much simpler meal was rather excessive. Good nights sleep then off to Tabara which turned out to be an excellent track including a large river and a hike around and up a mountain complete with wild peonies.  Got here at about 1430. On the way today we passed the point where the Camino splits and my way was left onto the Camino Sananbres.
