Cruz de Ferro

22 April 2013

One of the great traditions of the modern Camino is to leave a stone at Cruz de Ferro, an iron cross marking (more or less) the highest spot on the Camino route in Spain.

This, we did today. In an earlier entry, I talked about my stone, and some of the meanings behind it. I put down my stone to remind me to take up some of the things and people I have perhaps been neglecting.

Lunched late in El Acebo with Mark from Ireland, and saw old friends there, Cliff and Mia, each on their own Camino.

A long rough day, ending in Molinaseca.
