Leaving Chantada

 

The weather forecast was good, but it was misty as I set off

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Penasillás

 

 

 

I stopped for a coffee in Penasillás at A Taberna do Peto, and by the time I came out the mist had cleared. There are two paths from Penasillás, an easy path, or the climb of Alto do Faro. I chose the latter

 

 

 

 

 

Easy route or hard route?

Hard underfoot on concrete as it started to get hotter

 

 

 

Nice picnic area before the final climb to Alto do Faro

 

 

 

 

Ermita de Nuestra Señor de Faro
