29/05/19
Today was a short but hilly day designed to leave us fresh for tomorrow's steep climb up to O'Cebreiro.
The choice, as our direct German friend Nicole put it is, "take the main Ruta Carratera path which is flat & ugly or take the alternative Via Pradela which is hard but pretty." We opted for beauty & were rewarded with stunning views along the Valcarce valley. Luckily, the morning was shady and cooler as we huffed & puffed up the mountain trail. At one point, we had to forge our own steep path to find our way down to the tiny village of Trabadela.
Trabadela was just what the hiking Gods ordered for today. We found a sunny cafe with space to spread out to paint & journal. A bottle of wine & lunch late & life was looking pretty good. After a fresh vegan dinner, we declared the day a success & tucked in to rest for the big climb tomorrow.
