On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 11.0
April 25, 2024 Camino Sanabres, Campobecerros to Albergueria This was a very challenging day for me, 26 km with a long decent to Laza, lots of it on pavement, and a difficult ascent, which seemed much longer than it actually was, at the end of the day. On the way down to Laza.- Rowena

April 23, 2024 Camino Sanabres, Asturianos to Puebla de Sanabria This was a short walk, so I arrived with plenty of time to visit the town. The visit turned in to an unexpected overnight stop. My phone mysteriously locked itself while I was enjoying a very nice lunch. I couldn’t even turn it...- Rowena

April 22, 2024 Camino Sanabres, Mombuey to Asturianos A lovely winding walk through countryside with a series of very small villages. There were no services, but each village had an imposing pedestal with an individual engraved message to the pilgrim.- Rowena

April 21, 2024, at sunrise, Camino Sanabres Leaving the remarkable little albergue at the end of the tiny village of Villar de Farfon, right on the Camino.

April 17, 2024 Via de Plata, day 2 Around mid-morning we passed an enormous ruined wall in the distance, which went down to the river and would have enclosed a sizeable fortress. It must have been the Castillo de Castrotorafe mentioned in the Wise Pilgrim guide.- Rowena
