O Cebreiro

7 mile easy walking to the top of O Cebrero. Definitely seeing a bunch more pilgrims. Ended up walking for a while with a 76 year French guy who’s walking at a pretty good pace.

Finally some real hiking trails, almost like Mount Tam 😀

From Camino blogs this is supposed to be very strenuous but it’s not bad at all. Still nice to take it easy for a few days though. Planing to leave earlier tomorrow morning so I can take time going down the mountain. Up is easy, down probably not so much.

I could probably use my walking sticks that I bought in Ponferrada and left behind the next morning 🤔😀 oh well!!!

The Casa Carolo is comfortable, but nothing too exciting, just a comfortable small room.

Special!
I attended the evening mass at the Santuario the Cebreiro, and at the end the priest had all the pilgrims come to the front in a circle and he called people up to read the pilgrims blessing in all languages represented. He then gave everyone a small stone with the yellow camino arrow.Read more
