Foncebadon

Short sunny walk to Foncebadon- about 10.5 miles. As you can see in the grafts, about the last 2/3's were a steady climb up the mountains. Narrow trails at points, loose rock, stagnant mud.
This mountain path until the 18th century was the preferred route into Galicia. The path has always been treacherous, and the townspeople dedicated themselves to making the way and serving as guides. A steady climb ahead is La Cruz de Ferro (Iron Cross) as seen in the movie "The Way."


My very first "ahhh shit" moment, where I actually thought, "what the hell am I doing here?" Lol.
