Today we continued our steep climb to the village of O’Cebreiro, a mountaintop top old village hosting one of the oldest churches on the Camino dating back to the 9th century, we walked the steep path in a cool morning mist, walking in the clouds that capped the tops of the mountain. We are now in the district of Galicia, with the Celtic influence, the food and the language here is different than other parts of Spain. The wine is richer and more bold, the cattle , sheep and pigs are the mainstay here, but later as we near Santiago in Galicia we will see more and more sea food offered.
We continued our journey down off the mountain to the small city of Triecastela. At one time there were three castles in the city, nine of who’ve survive today. They were destroyed almost as fast as they were built. We stayed in a wonderful albergue, one of the best that we have seen. The hosts kind of adopted us, and shared part of their life with us and made us feel special , it was a real connection with them. We continue to be blessed with rich experiences.
Thought for the day ;
We might be disappointed when we fail , but we are lost when we don’t even try.
