Distance markers are getting progressively lower

Though billed as a killer hike it wasn't that bad

Misty so we could take a picture with our poncho hats off

David has to tie his shoes to get them just right

Now we are in Galicia. And I can no longer read all the signs. They speak Spanish and Galician here

We made it to the top! This is the picture we sent the Lisas.

O Cebreiro

October 23, 2023 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 45 °F

It was a great day! It was supposed to rain but it didn’t rain hard. We got our feet wet at our hats wet. But it was a great day. We got in by noon. We only walked 9 km today but it was up about 2000 feet. We had heard that today’s hike was going to be extremely difficult, but it was oversold. It wasn’t a bad hike at all. I guess living on the West Coast and hiking in the coast ranges, and in the Sierra has taught us some things.

This town is set up as a Celtic town. It is in the province of Galicia. We can’t tell if our hosts at our rural house are speaking, Portuguese or Galician! But it’s definitely not Spanish.

It’s rainy and cold outside but at least our radiator in our room is on kind of. It’s a little chilly in our room but at least the radiator is hoping to dry or wet socks, and hats. And we can eat our dinner here in the place we’re staying so we don’t have to wawander around a little town in the rain.Read more
