24.1 km and 5:57 (see map).
A great walk through many villages and towns and into the foothills. A bit warm as the day wore on – mid to high 20s.
Leaving Ponferrada.
Looking back to Ponferrada.
First church of the day.
Some of the walking was along quiet country roads.
Lindell – I’ve found a place for us to buy! All it needs is a potted geranium on the doorstep.
The ferreterias are small hardware stores. Interesting places!
Onwards towards Villafranca del Bierzo.
Summer attire on the Camino. Certainly one way to travel light.
€1 for a bag of fresh cherries. A good place to stop.
Through a shady grove of trees. The white stuff on the ground is fluffy and light and comes from a particular type of tree. Looks a little like snow.
The final section of the path into Villafranca is through vineyards.
First sight of Villafranca.
Some shots of the town.
