Camino Frances - 2014
Day 6 - Tuesday 23rd September 2014
Villafranca del Bierzo to O Cebreiro
28.25 km - 6.8 hours
| I started at 6-45 a.m. as it was quite a walk to Vega de Valcarce followed by the climb to O'Cebreiro. It was O.K. walking in the town of Villafranca under the street lights, but as soon as I got ton the edge of town it became pitch black. Fortunately two Spaniards came along, Emilio and Luis, and I walked with them until it became light, taking advantage of their head torches. The first part of the walk to Vega de Valcarce followed the N-IV road, but after that it was into the countryside. |
Leaving Hotel San Francisco at 6-45 a.m.

A warm day, lush meadows and cow bells ringing.... it could be Switzerland
You never know what you are going to meet on the trail!
You can go up O Cebreiro on horseback for a fee
The top at last, but very misty
