A second day walking alongside the Rio Valcarce. The old N-VI highway and the newer A-6 freeway share the valley; there is some of impressive civil engineering that carries the new freeway on viaducts over deep valleys and tunnels through the mountain.
After Las Herterías the path ascends steeply out of the valley to La Faba.
Today was a short walking day. It was nice to arrive at La Faba early to have lunch and linger before checking-in at the parochial albergue run by the German volunteers.
