Camino

Day 29 - Ponferrada to Villafranca del Bierzo

Not much to report on today's 25 km hike. Actually didn't take any photos. We are in the Bierzo wine region (I didn't even know there was a Bierzo wine region), so have been passing through vineyards again.  In order to fully immerse ourselves in the experience, we have purchased a bottle of Bierzo wine, which we will sample later this evening, before supper.

Now, we are bracing ourselves for tomorrow's jaunt — 32 km, with a killer 700m uphill ascent at the end of the day. It promises to be one of the more difficult days of the Camino. To make matters worse, the weatherman is prophesying rain throughout the day. Could be fun! 

We are currently 185 km from Santiago, and will be entering the region of Galicia tomorrow.
