To O Cebreiro 2018

The taxi ride and visit to O Cebreiro was fun, as usual...

O Cebreiro to Sarria 2014

In 2014, the weather was beautiful for the walk from Samos to Sarria. Our taxi took us from Villafranca del Bierzo to O Cebreiro, where we had breakfast. After, he dropped us off in Samos, and we walked to Sarria.

Where I had breakfast

They sell pulpo here!

Love the slate tiles

Laying in bed, looking up out of my window, it was just so pretty.

I had to get up and take a photo looking out over Sarria

O Cebreiro to Sarria 2013

In 2013, I walked alone and really enjoyed this stretch from O Cebreiro to Sarria.  I wanted to stay at La Faba, but I got there pretty early and had a couple of hours, so decided to continue walking. I found a room at Albergue La Escuela, a privado with 20 beds and a couple of private rooms. I had a wonderful meal there, and slept like a log!

Albergue La Escuela

I stopped in O Cebreiro for coffee, then continued on, enjoying the wildflowers, once the fog began to lift. This was an unusually chilly June.

Wildflowers were blooming

I spin and weave, and so I was fascinated by this loom

Lunch began with (of course) Caldo Verde

I grew up on a farm, so I love cows!

These trees are up to 800 years old!

This kitty was hunting something in the bushes

 I walked on to Samos and then to Sarria from there. 

I prefer the walk from Samos, after all these years.

It's just so green and beautiful.

In Samos, I stayed at a private albergue.

Through O Cebreiro and on to Sarria 2009

Here are some of the things we saw between O Cebreiro and Sarria 

in 2006 and 2009:

We left before sunrise

Beautiful Green Valleys Below Us

Some of these trees are over 300 years old

I think every pilgrim who has walked the Camino has this photo! 

If you look closely, you will see this rock is carved.  With what?

We walked into this shelter hoping to rest, but what we found was disgusting! Please do NOT leave your filthy toilet paper on the Camino!

Old millstones from the nearby water mill

More GREEN!

Another use for mill stones

I have a strange fondness for cemeteries

It was interesting to see these natural slate shingles

Slate shingled house

Some interesting graffiti

There are many shady lanes like this one

Lunch in Samos

This wagon is still in use. Look at the wheels.

Water Mill House

Little abuela sweeping the street. Seconds later, a tractor flew by!
