Fonfría

Beautiful day walking through the mountains. 

Along the way were a few tiny villages with preserved or restored signs of their medieval roots.

Stayed up late discussing spiritually and religion with a few people of deep and different beliefs.

Tomorrow: First of two nights at Hospedería Externa de Monasterio de San Julian in Samos.

O Cebreiro

I started today at the bottom of the valley in the middle of the picture! It was a beautiful hike all the way up - deep forests, soaring views, bright colors.

At the top, I visited the rebuilt 9th century church known for a eucharistic miracle in the 13th century.

And, I am finally out of Castilla y León and staring across Galicia, which will take me to the sea.

Ended the day on the summit, hoping for a sunset among the clouds. 

Tomorrow: A shorter, but hilly day to Casa de Lucas in Fonfría.
