Camino 2017


Today’s journey is through a well-cultivated agricultural region of the Bierzo. We are still in Castilla y Leon, but signs of Galicia are on the horizon. Bierzo has always offered the pilgrims wonderful hospitality and an advantageous point from which to begin the next day's ascent to O Cebreiro. Villafranca del Bierzo boasts many historical buildings.

One of which contains the "Puerto de Perdon". The story goes if you made it this far and could go no further you could knock on the door and ask the Priest to "pardon" you from the rest of your journey. Bill and Trish give it a try!
