Regueras, Las

Another day filled with hustle and bustle. We rose at 5 am to catch a train from Madrid to Oviedo, only to be greeted by rain upon our arrival. Our first stop was the Cathedral, where we obtained our pilgrim's book and embarked on a tour. Inside, we marveled at the reliquary room housing remarkable artifacts, including a shroud believed to be from Christ’s burial and a fragment of His cross. Notably, Pope St. John Paul II himself had prayed in front of these sacred relics and the renowned statue of Jesus. After a meal, we set off on foot, covering 12 miles to reach the quaint town of Paladin. Despite the challenging terrain, the breathtaking vistas made the journey worthwhile. Our stay at the Paladin Albergue, a charming family-owned establishment, was nothing short of exceptional. Here, we indulged in a refreshing cold beer, savored a delicious home-cooked meal made from the host family’s farmed ingredients, and replenished our energy for the night ahead. Tomorrow promises another demanding trek of 22 miles, prompting concerns from our host about the rigorous ascent. Nevertheless, we remain optimistic. Although I'm unable to share my video due to the lack of WiFi, rest assured, it will be uploaded at the earliest opportunity.Читать далее
