Villafranca del Bierzo to Ruitelan

We took the Ruta Pradela route.  Started with a climb out of Villafranca and ended with a descent into Trabadelo where we had lunch.  Up until lunch we only saw 2 other walkers on the trail - nice and peaceful.

A bit dark when we headed out the door at 8:00












Mare saw the light!

Valley views

We came across 2 local women in the mountains and asked directions - made sure we were still on the camino.  

Came down through a chestnut tree forest.


A little later, we came across a man raking in the woods - he's hard to see on the picture


Lunch stop


After lunch the route was alongside the old highway and passed through small towns, not many too cars



The homes have beautiful flowers

Home for the night, 5 euros for bed, 7 for dinner and 3 for breakfast

We've walked somewhere in the neighborhood of 385 miles, not that we're counting!

Janet and Victoria are enroute.  Four days until we meet them in Sarria.
