We hiked up and into the village of Foncebadón today. The walk was relatively easy with spectacular scenery. The well worn paths were rocky and muddy as we climbed to 1400m through pine, poplar, and miniature oak trees. Once we reached the top we were surrounded by the most tranquil views. Slight fall colours. So beautiful.
The fence below, which meandered up the mountain beside the path, was covered with man made crosses …
Tonight we’ve booked a room in a charming little pension located at the top of the mountain. Panoramic views into the valley and the mountains beyond. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, his three year old daughter and their seventeen cats and kittens. Outdoor cats! The pilgrim menu of comfort food was delicious. Especially the pudding/ custard desert.
It’s raining now and the clouds are hugging the hills. I find it impossible to take a photo that would convey the beauty surrounding us.
For anyone planning to walk the Camino, this is the perfect place to land for the night!

Ps: I’ve been having trouble leaving comments lately. Not sure what I’m doing wrong – but know that I’m following along and loving the ride ❤️

You’re not alone. Someone else told me the same thing. 🤷♀️ I wonder why?
I just told Lindsay this would be the perfect place for a girls weekend, if it wasn’t so far out in the middle of nowhere.
Love you
