We have passed the halfway stage of our Camino and walked through what is probably the most challenging stage of the Camino Frances – congratulations, especially those in our group walking the Camino for the first time.

And a very keen group of “ sello” collectors too!

THANKS TOMTHE GROUP FOR USE OF THEIR PHOTOS

A damp start to,the day with “ mizzle” in the air – that’s cricket commentary talk for a fine drizzle. It was also our coldest start.

Leaving TRICASTELA

Having turned right at the sign for San Xil the route climbed up along a country road and into the mist.

Evocative of the dank atmosphere
An unlikely but bright spot on this lonely track.
Utriea y Suseia,
A mysterious Fuente
A surprise find was this Donativo ( make a contribution ) run by some young, idealistic people – coffee,juices ,fruit, cakes – within the yard of an abandoned farm house by the looks of it.
Quite a spread
Very comfortable
Some New Age vibes
So now you know….
Mike and Christina sorting out a Sello for the pilgrim passports made from a dried fig – you get the idea ? A take on a woodcut in the shape of a heart – mine looked like a fingerprint!
Christina in her hippy element!
ALCHEMIST’S DEN
Stonebridge
Haunches to die for!
A very old “ Horreos” – traditional Galician grain store - more to come in the next few days.
Galician flora
Galician Stork
Christina gets the poncho off – Galician sunshine
Christina is a big fan of bus shelters – it was a welcome break before the last push into Sarria.
Richard and I
