New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
I have walked back a few times, I like it. Enjoy!

Note that the climb out of Molinesca is brutal in this direction, as is the climb to Alto de Perdon!

Buen Camino

Thank you Dave, I was thinking it would be hard, will start very early on the day from Ponferrada. On the way down I often take the road way( to avoid falling down) but going up will do the path! Should be there on Thursday 🙏👍

Met any interesting characters also walking back yet? Last time a group of us who were walking back accidently met up in Villafranca Montes de Oca. Me, A young punk guy with two lovely friendly Staffie dogs, A very old man with a very old donkey (was donkeys 4th or 5th camino - she knew the way), and a pretty young French girl. We were quite a group!

Buen Camino!

Nobody yet, on the way to Santiago only saw 4 people walking back. Its a strange experience , but I like the solitude 👍.

I get annoyed when I hola to pilgrims and and some don't respond ! But besides that it's great 🙏🙏🙏😎
