My Camino Route in 2023
This year (2023), I will be walking my tenth Camino in thirteen years. This time I plan to walk the Camino Sanabres from Zamora to Lalin, the the Camino Invierno from Ponferrada to Santiago. The route is shown with the red line on the map.

Rodeiro 4 October 2023

 Chantada to Rodeiro today, 16 miles walk with the first 8 miles a steady uphill with a 1900 foot elevation gain, then the last half with the same drop to Rodeiro. The midpoint was a large wind generator (eólicos) farm. Spain generates a lot of electricity from wind, solar, and hydro. Most all of its vast passenger train system is powered by electricity. Unlike us, they don't seem to have a problem completing their high speed AVE ( Alta Velocidad España) rail projects, people use them because they are comprehensive, fast, and efficient.

Starting the walk in cool, foggy (i.e., ideal) conditions 

Accidental photo showing good walking surface, not as hard as asphalt or concrete and rocks not too big, either. With an average of 25,000 steps a day, your feet know.
Looks like the fog is hanging on down below 

The cows came by first. Need to watch my step!
Tired of the segundo (beef ribs, breaded fish, or meatballs), I had two primers today, Fabadas and ensalada mixta.

Nice 12 euro private albergue

    step by step you conquer the path through hard ups and downs, the weather whether cold or hot or rainy, the floor where you walk and your feet freshen it and in the end comes the compensation through a delicious food and a good shelter to rest and wake up fully recovered to fight the next battle. Perseverance, tenacity, willpower are some of the ingredients that a Pilgrim needs to conquer the path.
    BUEN CAMINO!!!!
