Day 25 La Laguna to Triacastella

Another challenging stage today of some 25 kms from La Laguna to Triacastella. We start the morning around 6.15am climbing to O´Cebreiro. Had breakfast at a small bar at O´Cebreiro. The owner was a bit grumpy this morning and not very friendly. Once again travelled through stunning villages and countyside. Went through Hospital de la Condesa a wonderful small village with an 11C church and stunning plaza. Today the challenge proved to be the steep descent from 1300 meters to 670 meters where Triascatela is situated. Had booked accommodation at a very nice albergue named Berce do Camino. Reached this place around 1 pm today. Had lunch at a local restaurant where I had Churrasco - steak, with chips and also Galician Flan. Walked around town and also celebrated Jacques´birthday today. Tomorrow we visit Barbadello some 24 kms away. Bye for now. Jose
