Leaving Rabanal to climb to the Camino's highest point at La Cruz de Ferro.
Cruz de Ferro where pilgrims leave a stone from home, also symbolically leaving behind a burden they have carried
Stopping for the evening in the tiny town of Reigo.
My camera is so dirty, I now have a nice Glamor Shots soft focus going on as we leave, climbing down from Reigo in the dark for nearly an hour before the valley began to fill with early morning light.
The very pretty town of Molinaseca still hasn't woken up when I'm passing through.
Yelling at this insane cat to go back inside made no difference in Ponferrada
The 12 C Knight's Templar castle in Ponferrada.
Plenty of grapes to harvest in the Bierzo wine region. This is just outside Cacabelos, where I was so tired for once I didn't not explore after arriving at the albergue.
Gorgeous morning's walk into Villafranca del Bierzo
Leaving Villafranca
Some interesting blue trees at the start of a long walk adjacent the highway leading deeper into the Valcare river valley.
TheValcarce river vallye is dotted with sleepy hamlets. Each one quaint and beautiful, like Vega de Valcarce
A space highway floating overhead
Lovely little Las Herrerias where we stayed in a cozy hostel with a delicious dinner. A restful stop before a steep climb to cross over into Galicia. I hope I can return to the Valcarce River valley some day. For me, it was one of the prettiest areas of the Camino.
