      The DESCENTS — Are You Kidding Me?

      23. september 2022, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F

      After visiting Cruz de Ferro, we knew we would have two major descents. Most people going on the Camino are very aware of the Pyrenees' descent from Orrison to Roncesvalles. It is a very steep descent. But few talk about the descent from Foncebadón to Molinaseca. It is a little over 8Km to climb up to Cruz de Ferro. This is also the highest elevation on the Camino! From there we had 22 km downhill. But each descent took between 2.5 - 3 hours each. After the first descent which was crazy, dangerous, and exhausting, we stopped, rested, and had lunch. Then the second half of the downhill was treacherous. Boulders to climb over, shale rock to navigate, harsh passages with very little pathway. I heard the day we descended several people fell. While I have thought about it many times on my Camino, it is the first time I screamed as loud as I could, “I can’t do this!!”
      But I did do it!
      I was too concerned about my safety to snap a few pictures of the wicked terrain. By the end of the day, we hiked over 30 km, I was physically and mentally exhausted.
      But I made it!

      Molinaseca to Villafanca

      While today was another 30 km walk, the terrain was relatively flat, which makes the distance a little more manageable.

      As I walk through these ancient towns, I can’t help but wonder what it was like when it was a thriving town. Many buildings are abandoned and have very small populations because there is little opportunity. The ancient ruins are so interesting—was this a farm, a neighborhood, a school?
      But the Camino Pilgrims breathed life back into and help sustain these towns. Many of the towns that pilgrims go through on the Camino are very poor areas of Spain. But the townspeople take care of the Pilgrims! ❤️

      When I pass a deserted church, with huge stork nests in the bell tower, I imagine the hymns that were sung, the preaching and teaching that took place, and the prayers that were spoken. Where we hear the sounds of praise we hear the faith of the people that once were. I pray for the communities I traverse through to have faith, have hope.      Les mer
