To Acebo

Very chilly early start as big day ahead climbing up to Cruz de Ferro then dropping down to Acebo.
Very welcome coffee stop at El Ganso to warm our hands. El Ganso supposedly had no albergues but actually had two, so lesson for us there. On up to Rabanal a very pretty village for coffee stop two then Foncebadon another lovely place for coffee three and sit looking out over a broad green valley. Chatted to Irish walkers who couldn't gui where I was from. On to Cruz de Ferro and bumped into Ngaire Button from Christchurch.
Not as significant a place as we'd hoped - the atmosphere spoilt by pilgrims clambering all over the mound and taking selfies. As we were.
Great unexpected break stop for coffee at Manjarin. Funny we Scotty dog Susky the vet short husky chased a bike barking then flopped down tired after the big effort
Long rough climb down. One walker popped a knee. We were ok but glad to get our auberge.Read more
