Walking from O’Cebreiro to Sarria via Tricastela was a joy - two days of greenery, shaded paths when needed, and not too steep or hot.
A cool quiet early morning departure from O’Cebreiro.
With misty valleys in clouds
A little more climbing - thankfully no headwinds. I am dreaming again.
Villages and hamlets dot the route - in various states of repair.
Welcome shade when you need it.
No bull! Fortunately I got rid of my red T-shirt years ago.
and before long, I arrived in Tricastela.
Overnight in a new hotel - kindly offered at a pilgrim Albergue rate. Thankyou!
Next morning, onwards to Sarria.
Not really a designer fashion outfit but functional all the same.
Signs of the Camino abound.
And so does the spirit. I came across this friendly home offering a donativo breakfast.
Sancho and I felt right at home.
Run by volunteers! Good people - like friends I know.
Entering Sarria, there is a mural honouring the fellow who initiated the painting of yellow arrows that guide the way.
Dinner at a bar with colourful exterior decor.
With locals who enjoy a beer watching the World Cup.
Then safely home around steps that resemble something Dali might have designed 😳
Tomorrow I am expecting to join the herd. Sarria is just over 100kms from Santiago. It is the most popular starting point on the Camino Frances apart from St Jean Pied du Port
