Camino Photo of the Day: Top of the World!

Here we stand at the top of the steep descent into the village of El Acebo, a path that Francine lovingly refers to as “the goat path”. It starts out winding and rocky and progresses by steeper stages until it’s practically a scramble. You have to take this path in a slow and methodical way, or you’ll certainly twist an ankle by the bottom. It’s made somewhat frustrating by the fact that you can see the town for ages, including (as you get closer) a bar with a veranda full of pilgrims. But though you’d love to be there as soon as possible, haste is the enemy.
