Day 32-Molinaseca

We did a 17 mile day today and while it was mostly downhill, it was a crazy, difficult downhill. Today was also the dirtiest are clothes have gotten. A powdery dirt ended up all over us.

We started walking at 6am so that we could watch the sunrise from the Cruz de Ferro. This cross is a place where thousands of people have placed a rock they've brought from home. You can symbolically place whatever intention or burden you want on the stone and then leave it there.

The mountains are green, high and beautiful. But along with that comes rough terrain. There were steep descents on loose rocks and slate. It was brutal but the heat wasn't too bad. When we got into town, my legs felt like noodles.

Molinaseca has a river that occasionally is dammed to create a swimming pool. There are even swimming pool ladders and rails. The river is just trickling today so we'll probably cool our feet for a bit.Read more
