Camino Photo of the Day: Taking the Steps

The street the Camino follows out of Villafranca rather suddenly turns into a staircase. There are a number of places on the Camino where this is true, and it never ceases to fascinate me. In the U.S., where the majority of streets and roads were built with the automobile in mind, this would almost never happen. I don’t say absolutely never, as I’m aware of a couple of exceptions, but it is much more common in Spain, particularly in the older sections of towns and villages.

Date: 24 April 2016
Place: Villafranca del Bierzo (Castilla y León, Spain)

Since Villafranca is midway through our day, two maps are required.
