Day 25 – Cacabelos to La Portella de Valcarce

My morning started off with orange juice, toast and cafe con leche. Then off for the trail. Not the most beautiful sunrise but today’s sunrise.

Life on Camino is so simplified.  Eat, walk, cafe con leche, walk, bathe, menu del dia and sleep. Oops can’t forget the vino tinto! Then repeat again.

Today I took the shorter, low road; the road not recommended by the guidebook. But I thoroughly enjoyed walking the flatter route. All along the side of the road a river flowed.

The sound of water flowing is always very comforting to me. I’ve been told water awakens my creative spirit, surely today I’ve been dreaming  of painting.

When I passed through a village there were always cats to watch and enjoy.

Today was a good day. I walked 13.88 miles/22.4 kms in about 7.5 hours including stops.
