It was the high point of my Camino, even with its being cold and rainy. I wish I'd seen the sun rise though!

I've never stayed on O Cebreiro - both times I've tackled the climb up there in the morning and moved on to Alto do Poio in the afternoon. The sunrise there isn't nearly as good, though. ;)

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
What an exquisite feeling you must have had seeing that landscape splayed out in front of you, up above the clouds.. wow. Thank you for sharing!!
 
The second time I stayed at Poio the morning mist was so thick I could barely see my hand in front of my face never mind the sunrise. It just shows how every Camino is different and beautiful things you may not even be aware of on one trip can reveal themselves on another.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
On my way there, heading out to Hospital de Orbigo. The Camino has been very quiet so far. I walked the Calzada Romana bteween Sahagun to Calzadilla de los Hermanillos and vere saw one more soul. BTW, DEFINITELY the way to go rather the other option along the trail.
