This morning we left O Cebreiro in the clouds. It was very foggy and misty when we left, you could barely see down the street. The trail took us up to elevations that were difficult ascents. We felt that we really didn’t need to climb these mountains, since- we could not see any view at all, so when we had the chance, we walked along the road for an easier walk.
Some of the walk was along nice forested trails, some was through villages that had a lot of earlier cattle traffic!
We got to our destination the earliest we have ever been done for the day. As we were relaxing on the porch of the bar, we watched the parade of pilgrims going one way, and farmers herding cattle the other direction.
We spent part of the afternoon planning the rest of our stopping points along the way to Santiago, and booking rooms. The number of people walking grows daily, and will continue to increase as we approach Sarria. Sarria is easy to get to by train, and is close to the 100km distance to Santiago that one needs to walk to get the Compostela (certificate that you walked the way). Lots of people start there, and there will also be the crowds we have already met. Nice to know we won’t have to hunt for accomadations.
