We will hike about 16,5 km, we are so blessed with the weather: 24 degrees! It will feel less hot as we will climb till 1504 m. This will be the highest point of our trip.
A beautiful sunrise over Rabanal, after breakfast we are going to Cruz de Ferro or iron cross.
At the Iron Cross pilgrims place a small stone or other object on the mound at the foot of the cross to ask a blessing or as a symbol of leaving their burdens or sins behind. When we arrived there were not many pilgrims around. Except for a bicigrino couple (bicicleta and peregrino=cycling pilgrims). They were hugging and crying, very moving to watch.
All kinds of objects people leave at the Cruz de Ferro.
Cantabrian mountains.
Paradise.
A steep descent into El Acebo village with 12 permanent inhabitants.
We treat ourselves to accommodation including pool, but unfortunately hasn’t open yet.
We enjoy our sunset…
Elvira, dochter van een Belgische moeder en Nederlandse vader, bezocht 65 landen, werkte en woonde in verschillende landen, en spreekt vijf talen. Haar meest bijzondere ervaring was de Camino naar Santiago de Compostela in 2015, een tocht die haar leven veranderde. De reis bood haar mentale rust, verbinding met de natuur, en inzichten in wat écht belangrijk is. Het bracht haar dichter bij de essentie van het leven en gaf haar balans. Met haar kennis en ervaring inspireert ze met Go Camino anderen om deze bijzondere reis te maken.
