Beautiful Day, Steep Price

Today´s walk has been fantastic. The guidebook says, most beautiful spot on the camino and the most difficult. True. We started out hiking in the clouds. After about an hour, the clouds lifted and we had the most incredible mountain views, wildflowers, butterflies, sunshine, cows, sheep, trees, and other nature chiches. We are spending the night in Ponferada. We arrived here around 5:00 PM, but we have seen this town, off and on, since 10:00 this morning.

Yesterday started out beautiful but then a drizzle turned into rain so strong we could see little but our feet, so we were forced to cut the hike short and stay in a small town that seemed to contain nothing but three refugios.

I feel very content tonight.
