Ermita de la Carrasquedo, Granon

Settled into a municipal albergue which is basically empty. We have a room with 10 beds all to ourselves. Only two other pilgrims here on another floor.

This hermitage is one km off the beaten path of the Camino, in a small isolated forest, but that suits me perfectly right now. I’m really enjoying the quiet and lack of jostling with other people for one night.
It has been rainy and cold for three straight days now. Today was 16 km. We are hoping for some sun to break out tomorrow, but Neii heard that it is snowing in O’Cebreiro, a mountain we will be climbing in a couple of weeks.

Onward to Belorado and Tosantos (hopefully) for the night to allow for a fairly big climb over a hill the following day. So glad to have the elevation profile to plan our walks.Read more
