Vilaseco to Rodeiro

Today marked the highest elevation for the Camino Invierno - 1180 m. There was an option to NOT climb. Which I would have taken if it was raining. But when I woke up it was cloudy but dry, so I decided to go for it. I thought I might have regrets if I did not walk to the summit.

And the climb was actually not as bad as some others on this route. At least it was not muddy or steep. Actually at the top it was a little steep as I followed the Via Cruces, Way of the Crosses, to the Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Faro.

It was pretty up there, but there were no views available. On a clear day you can see four provinces of Galicia.

The way down was easy except for a couple of muddy patches. That and it started to rain when I was a bit more than an hour from my destination.

The good news is that no more rain is forecast. Hopefully that is true.

And today I am staying at an albergue where there are other pilgrims!Meer informatie
