The disadvantage of this season is that the sunrise is rather late. At 8 am there is enough light to enjoy where you are walking.
Nevertheless, there are pilgrims who think they should get up at 5 am and several alarm clocks go off at half past five. I turn around a few more times and get up at a quarter to seven.

| Sunrise 8am La Isla |
The route runs inland from La Isla. Soon I pass an old Roman bridge. This is followed by the nice town of Calunga. After a stretch of flat road I cross the A8, after which there is a steep climb.
The advantage of this season is the ripe fruit. In case of emergency ...

| Lots of ripe fruit |
Today there are several little old churges along the route. Unfortunately they are all closed. After a steep climb with beautiful views I reach the pre-Romanesque San Salvador church in Priesca.

After the village Priesca there is a beautiful, but first quite steep descent on an unpaved path, partly through forest.
 |
| I love forest paths |
When I have gone under the A8 again I arrive in Sebrayo where I use the picnic table in front of the local albergue for a lunch break.

| The A8, too often present today |
Another climb follows, now in the sun, which makes me sweat a lot. But I am rewarded with a view of a Ria (river delta) and the coast.

| Beautiful view towards the coast |
The descent is first pleasantly unpaved, then on asphalt in full sun. It is a pity that now the A8 can be heard all the time. After a final steep climb I reach the Albergue of the Spanish lady Montse. I am to early, she is not open yet, but I can sit in the garden, in the shade.
I had a nice day with beautiful weather and my ankle gave no problems.
Best wishes, professor Conny
