climb to O Cebreiro and on

Today I walked 21 miles and climbed about 700m total. It felt so good to finally have some climbing to do after the flat mesetas. When I arrived to the top of O Cebreiro (where many stay for the night after the climb), I was resting, having a drink, and 5 separate people offered to buy me a drink because they were so impressed by how fast I walked up the climb😂. If only they knew the climbs the Sierra Nevada has. After that ego boost and since it was only 11:30 when I arrived to the top, I decided to push on about 7.5mi to the next town with an adequate stay, Fonfria (where I write this). For the next two hours, it rained hard and pilgrims were few and far between since many chose not to walk in the rain. It was nice.Okumaya devam et
