Day 32 O'Cebriero to Triacastela

13 miles. When the weather clears, the views are spectacular!  Steep hills with vibrant green fields, stacked rock walls and purple bushes blooming towards the top, Although the day started with just overcast, it quickly deteriorated into light rain, and then mist, like walking through a cloud. Now that the mountain has been climbed, you must come down, but before that can happen, there are several large hills that you must go up, across, and down, before finally arriving at the village of Triacastela, so named because of the former 3 castles that were located here.  A long walk on generally nice paths, some steep, but all OK.

The most interesting sight today, was the Camino donkey. I had heard of this previously; the dog is usually seen riding the donkey, the man is walking with them but not leading either.

Some of the  stone houses here have the old arrangement of the barn for livestock below, and the living area for the family above,  the Camino runs right through the villages and farms, so the barns open right onto the path, which means you need to dodge the cow flops.
