Day 36…or Day 2 (43km) Vilaserio – Cee We awake to “clear” dark skies and the twinkling of stars.  We wrap our packs in their rain covers and put our rain gear at the top of our packs, just in … Continue reading →

Day 28: Ruitelán – Tricatela The road curves ahead of me, and a yellow arrow points the way. I figure they are just around the corner. Apparently I miss the marker that would have directed me onto a dirt path … Continue reading →
