Day 22 - Ponferrada

Change of scenery today as we're back in the mountains. Started the morning cycling 700m up, up, up to the Cruz de Ferro - the highest point on the Camino at 1500m. This was followed by a 1000m descent all the way down to the Knights Templar Castle in Ponferrada. Beautiful scenery and villages today and some great mountain bike tracks. Unfortunately there were lots of walkers around so we had to go on the road for some sections, but still good fun. Great to see Chris and Paula at today's finish line.
56kms cycled today, 850m up, 1180m down.Read more
