Sobradelo 28 September 2023

 Seventeen miles today to Sobradelo and very much in the mountains. First off was a steep climb to Las Medulas, where the ancient Romans operated a large open pit gold mine, then after a steep decline to Puente Dominguez de las Flores, it was uphill through the river valley to Sobradelo.

  1. They are still difficult and long stages but on the other hand there is the reward of discovering very beautiful places with gastronomic delights. BUEN CAMINO.
