You can see Victor walks alongside us all the way up, so no need to know how to ride. He's right there all along. It was very nice to just enjoy the view for that hour or two.

I was 75 when I walked to O Ceibero and i did not find it difficult. However, after walking for almost 4 four weeks from SJPP I was very fit for long climbs.

Hello, we walked from Los Herrerias to Fonfria in a storm - high winds, muddy / stream- like track, cold & rainy day. Had snowed the day before. Was exhausted & the day I burst into tears when finally got to Fonfria! We said we would...

Another option: Laguna de Castilla, 1.1 km past La Faba. One of cleanest albergues I've stayed in with excellent bar/food, great patio and best mountain view since the Pyrenees. Utterly charming spot. If you stay there you might get to O'Cebreiro...

Stayed at Casa Susi in Trabadelo, then walked to La Escuela to overnight. Single beds & great food in the restaurant. Next morning 1.5 km to O Cebrio (sunrise!!!!) then on to Fonfria. Have ridden the horses too & it makes for a unique...

I did exactly that. Stayed in Las Herrerias and contacted Victor the day before through WhatsApp to book a horse. He only has 4 horses, so maybe try and book earlier than I did. Then over at O'Cebreiro, he knew the lady who owns one of the hotels...

Just ridden over that this morning and we found it harder that the first 2 days riding on the Camino. Brutal was a word fitting for the hill .
