Laguna de Castilla

Into each life some rain must fall. This morning it fell on is as we left Ambasmesas. Not a lot, but enough to warrant rain gear. We went a few miles for coffee, and a few more miles to breakfast. By the time we finished breakfast the rain had mostly stopped. This was the first inclement day on the trip.

When we got to the steeper part of the climb we encountered the strangest things, actual switchbacks! The path didn’t go 9,000 ft. straight up the mountain like every other climb we have done in Spain.

We ended our day early at la Laguna de Castillo at a hostel/ pension just short of the summit. Tomorrow we have a longish day walking to Triacasteleo.Read more
