We must be getting trail dementia. Yesterday was the 27th day (not the 26th day), so today is the 28th day of walking. We completed 18 miles (shorter than we thought) to bring our grand total to 406 miles. We are now in a beautiful mountain village in the province of Galicia, named O’Cebreiro.
Once again, the morning broke very clear and very cold. Just to add to the fun, there was an even colder wind coming down the narrow canyon that we were walking up. A bit chilly is a good description.
We followed a stream, or river, for 14 miles of the walk.
In the last 5 miles or so, the elevation went from gradual climb to grinding climb! The views, however, we’re worth it.
Also, we crossed into the final province in Spain of our journey, Galicia.
Galicia is the verdant province, which means RAIN. Sure enough, our last day in Castilla y Leon was sunny and bright, and tomorrow (our first full day in Galicia) is forecast to rain. Yes, Bill will have his rain gear handy.
Hasta Manana.
