Procession to the Cruz of the El Salvador

[peregrina2000]

There is now a cross, made by Ender, at the highest point of the Camino del Salvador.

On the 10th of August, there will be a romeria (procession) up to that cross. Leaving at 10 am from Poladura de la Tercia. Back in Poladura by 2 pm for dancing, wine, and queimada.

If you're on facebook, you can see the announcement (and lots of beautiful pictures from the Camino del Salvador) here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... e=1&ref=nf

Reb, if your body has recovered from your Picos jaunt, this sounds like it would be a whole lot more fun!

Buen camino, Laurie

Yes, I was surprised because it was not mentioned in the guide.
Are you sure it's on the heighest point? Is the Cuchillo (when you see for the first time the N630) not a little bit higher? I have to check my log from my navigator.
Till soon.

Hi, Gunnar,
The cross is one of the many things that the 2009 guide doesn't have. It was just about that time that Ender and his little band of Camino Angels got into high gear and wrote the guide, put in all the markings, built the bridge into Poladura, and built the cross. I don't quite know what they will do for their next act.

I'm almost done with my 2012 revisions and will soon be asking all you 2013 veterans to help me out with updates!

And as far as the highest point question goes, I will defer to your navigator!

Buen camino, Laurie

It's true. It's on the heighest point. Following the log: the cross is situated at 1572m height. El Cuchillo (where you have to take left and down in the trails of the cows) is at 1568m.
