Day 34: Vega de Valcarce to O’Cebreiro (12 km)

Let’s try this again, but as a re-write, it will be shorter.

This was probably the best day of Camino 2015 – only 12 km, although the 650 m climb made it a respectable hike.  The highway overpasses are quite a spectacular part of the scenery.

The path started in the valley, followed a small river for awhile and then headed uphill. Steadily.

Here I had a close encounter with a herd of cows trundling down the path. The farmer followed, shouting instructions at the 2 dogs that were busy keeping the cows moving in the right direction. I didn’t get a photo of them as the situation “developed” and I was plastered against the hillside to the right.

Galicia must be the kale growing capital of the world.
