Today’s stage is said to be the most beautiful of all the Caminos of Santiago. Sadly I’ll never know because almost all I saw was thick fog. It rolled in last night while we were having dinner so the golf tournament didn’t go ahead. And it stayed until late morning. It’s also said to be one of the most demanding days of any Camino and includes the highest point of the Camino Primitivo. Luckily my legs are strong now and I managed the terrain well.
The track was well marked and the yellow arrows that we follow are very easy to see in the fog. The route wove around the ancient hospitals set up to house pilgrims on the original Primitivo. We could still see the ruins that dated back to the 13th century.
The sun did come out after my lunch break, and I had a lovely walk through the forests to arrive in Berducedo where I rest tonight.




What a shame you didn’t get photos of the scenes from the highest point – you have such a wonderful record of the scenery on the rest of your journey.
