Made it to Acebo! It was a difficult trek - first up then down! My knee is definitely hurting - will rest & then determine what the plans are for tomorrow.

Sunrise after leaving Foncebadon this morning at 7:45.

The Way!

At Cruz de Ferro - a place to leave your sorrows in form of rocks. I placed 4 - two for myself and one each for two friends.

Looking back east...

Spectacular views!

Does the path go up to this tower - that was the burning question for quite awhile!

A different terrain on this section

Then there was this terrain

And yes, we did climb up to the tower !! It is supposedly a military installation.

And then we came down!

Pilgrims or peregrinos in Spanish can be quite creative.

Okay, only 800 meters to go -- that was the longest distance in the whole day's walk!!!! 

After 5 hours of walking & resting, I did make it to Acebo

and home for tonight!!!

I've had lunch, did laundry & written this blog - now nap time!!!!
