Today I walked a short stage because I want to visit the monastery of Sobrado dos Monxes. From A Roxica I start climbing immediately. I walk through open countryside and have beautiful views all the time.
I reach the highest point of the Camino del Norte and take a picture of the sun's rays coming through the clouds.
I enjoy the views and beautiful old paths.
I reach Lake Sobrado and eventually Sobrado dos Monxes.
The monastery is unfortunately under construction.
The guest priest is a cheerful man who likes to talk. I get a stamp and can look around on my own (see photos). Unfortunately not in the monastery church where people are working on the reconstruction. I can attend the vespers tonight in the monastery chapel.
Tomorrow will be my last day on the Camino del Norte. At Arzua this Camino will join the Camino Frances. That means that I will be surounded by many more pilgrims. Friday I will arrive in Santiago de Compostela.
Do you want to support Professor Conny during her 1200 kilometre walk for Chromosome 6?
