Camino Photo of the Day: Walking the Dragon’s Spine

These sorts of treacherous granite descents (and ascents!) are not uncommon on the Camino. Francine calls them dragon spines. This particular one just as you’re leaving Riego de Ambrós is definitely one of the more challenging. It looks nice enough in this photo, but in 2016 it had been raining, and I slipped and fell.

Date: 22 April 2013
Place: leaving Riego de Ambrós (Region of El Bierzo, Province of León, Castilla y León, Spain)
Today started: Rabanal del Camino (Province of León, Castilla y León, Spain)
