Trabadelo from Camponaroya

Nice morning for walking. Overcast but no rain to start. I’m walking through the Bierzo valley, the center of production for Mencia wine. Lots of vineyards starting to show fall colors. I took a slightly longer route that stayed away from highways and it was really pleasant. Dale and I took the same route on the previous camino.

I’m still working my way into trail shape. I stop and stretch my hip and back every hour or so.

About halfway through the day I had to choose between stopping early with only 14 kilometers or going to the next village which was another 10 k. I decided to see how my body would hold up. By the time I made it to Trabadelo I was feeling it. Met up with some people from earlier stops and had dinner together.

The mountains are coming. Tomorrow I’ll have to deal with the pass at O Cebriero.Weiterlesen
