Day 26 – Ponferrada to Villafranca del Bierzo

May 4, 2017 – 15. 5 miles ( 25 Km)  Left Ponferrada under overcast skies, which was a relief, because the forecast was for pretty high temperatures. It took a few miles to get out of the city and suburbs. The walk today felt very long. We spent most of the day walking on roads, it wasn’t until the last few miles when we walked through some beautiful vineyards, as the area of Bierzo is a pretty big wine producer. Our legs and feet are feeling the effects of yesterday’s long walk and the hard road today. We tried not to walk too much this afternoon as we have a challenging day tomorrow, long and very hilly!!

Leaving Ponferrada with the view of the river and the castle

Taking time to smell the roses!

Little chapel in Columbrianos

Old mill in the town of Las Angustias

Beautiful vineyards along the way

Can’t get enough of these views!
