Primitivo - Day 7: Grandas de Salime to A Fonsagrada (26.8km on 7/6/18)


Note: The Blogger program lost most of today's activity. Not sure what happed as I had a dozen or so photos and only the one below was saved. Sorry!


Got up and had a bit of fruit and coffee in the albergue then we left around 7:30 and grabbed a coffee and juice in a bar.  The first 40% of the day was a steady climb and a bit on the highway. After reaching the summit, we entered Galicia near the summit and began a gradual descent.  Most of the day was spent on one lane tracks with a portion along a two lane paved road. The downhill was more gradual than I had expected and weather was nice. The bad news was that the length of the day was ~3km more than we had expected.  The last kilometer was a climb up into the town and a bit more than we wanted. The weather was cool but sunny and that sapped our energy. We’re staying at a nice private place - Albergue Pension Cantabrico.
