[QUOTE="alansykes, post: 973867, member: 9811"] Mombuey to Puebla de Sanabria One of those great days that will stay in the memory. Leaving at first light, the fat pink moon was just setting to the west. Mombuey's church's (possibly templar) tower was swiftly past and the walk through woods and the first sun, with several deer passing nervously over the path, and an eagle overhead to remind you that the highlands are getting closer. As did the intoxicating indefinable smell of autumn in the uplands. No wind, no clouds, a light frost soon burnt off, a couple of deserted villages, occasional distant views of the high passes into Galicia, an AVE suddenly breaking the peace, golden tunnels, open empty vegas, the seven sinners busily burning in Otero de Sanabria, eventually the first view of Peubla's forbidding castle guarding the passes. On one house somebody had neatly painted a translation of Stevenson "nada más pido: el ciel sobre mi, y el camino sobre mis pies": I got that, in spades, today. One of those days when, to adapt "bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be walking the camino was very heaven". Almost too good to be true, but it was.
