We had a pleasant day of walking. We walked a little over 7 miles. All in a green valley beside a big mountain stream, through a number of charming villages. We stopped once for breakfast and again for coffee. Even though it was a mostly gray day and rained off and on, very light rain, it was one of our favorite days of walking. We walked from Trabadelo to Las Herrerías. At Las Herrerías, we stopped at a bar and asked the owner if he would call a taxi for us. The taxi driver took us to where we are tonight, Liñares. The taxi driver took us through O Cebreiro which is a high point on the Camino. He took us the way the bicycles would go on this climb. We walked this climb back in 2013 and decided to by-pass it this time. This is one of the prettiest areas on the Camino, if not THE prettiest. Our taxi driver was great and suggested we stop several places so we could take photos. He invited me to sit up front so I’d have a good view out and I got to chat with him in castellano, which is what everyone around here calls Spanish. He was a kind, soft-spoken man.
