Thirteen miles from Ponferrada to Borrenes, but one 3 mile stretch was a tiring thousand foot elevation gain, so it was a five hour walk. No albergue here, so I have the luxury of a hotel room for the second night in a row. And there is a bar and restaurant in the hotel, too. This area is a part of the well known Bierzo wine growing region with many vineyards in the lower elevations.
View of the town square from my room (it's a very small town)
I bet you that all the pilgrims you sea in Poferrada are not any more in Borrenes.
ReplyDeleteA difucult walk to get there is todo much elevation in such a short way. But any way, the good things are that you are in a nice place and enjoying views, the quite ando delicious food.
BUEN CAMINO.
