• A walk in the clouds La Portela de Valca

    May 31, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F

    Our day started with Churros, I could get used to churros for breakfast.
    Once we started climbing out of Cacabelos I told Javier I felt like we we taking “a walk in the clouds.” The scenery was breathtaking and the pictures just don’t do it justice.
    When we arrived in Villafranca we stopped at Iglesia de Santiago and then stopped for our typical second breakfast where we finished our churros from the morning, they’re even better dipped in coffee ( that’s what the locals do).
    Today’s path ran parallel to the river most of the day, everything is green and the water calming.
    We stopped at the municipal Albergue in Trabadelo for our afternoon snack and had a delicious bocadillo (my favorite one so far).
    We walked just under 14 miles and our Albergue sits right next to the river. We have our window open listening to the water running by, the perfect end to a peaceful day.
