Don´t read a guidebook and walk at the same time.
There was a funny crossroad at the outside of town where one set of yellow arrows was pointing to the left along a different path, but another set led into town... I decided to check my book but didn´t stop walking, and my right foot hit an uneven pavement edge where the asphalt dropped like an inch to the side, and down I went. After the initial shock I got up okay, and limped the 1km into town, where I sat at a cafe for an hour icing my ankle, watching it swell up and contemplating my options. Stay here, take a bus to Astorga and stay there, or keep walking the rest of the 15km or so and see what happens. It doesn´t hurt much anymore when I am walking on it, but what would three more hours of walking on it do? I don´t know. So as much as I want to press on, I´m staying here. But I´m already stir crazy. I was ready to really walk today.

Oh...no!! Not fair to twist your ankle in the middle of this trip!! Praying that ice and rest is all you need.
