The Day Thou Gavest Lord Hath Ended

We started in Vega de Valcarce and climbed to El (O) Cebreiro. Sometimes it was a bit rough going but we perceivered..
Overall it was steeper (or at least IMHO) than ascent going to Zubiri on Day 3but the trail wasn't nearly as bad... so ALLES GUT

Temps reached 105 today but we were long at albergue by then, clocking at 21km.
Although not on the map Linares is more or less in that dip between O and S in "hospital"

it just started to thunderstorm and we hope for the repeat of the day passed: rain through the night, cool everything down, nice morning to start the day... because (surPRISE, surPRISE!!!)
tomorrow we have to descend all we assented today...and perhaps even some more...

Thankfully this shall be the last high Ridge we deal with, any elevation changes after are more like small rolling hills...
