Views of O Cebreiro

I haven’t had good enough internet to upload photos for a few days. We’re still here; still walking. On Sunday we made it to O Cebreiro, albeit by taxi. Tristan and Mary have been having some foot issues and the extreme uphill and unfavorable weather forecast led us to take a taxi.

It was very chilly atop the mountain, but we had two cute, old-fashioned rooms in a Casa Rural, located over a Celtic gift shop and a coffee shop.

We enjoyed some hot food (caldo Gallego was very good) and Mary and I went to pilgrim mass in one of the most beloved little churches on the Camino.

O Cebreiro marked our departure from the region of León and entry into Galicia.

We each received a stone with the traditional Camino yellow arrow way marker


Our blessing:

“May love be the light of hope in your path.

May peace abound in your heart.

May goodness be your mark in life.

May your faith strengthen you in the mystery of life.

And when the moment comes for you to reach your eternal goal, may LOVE embrace you eternally.

Be happy and make others happy.”
