Today was one of the most challenging days. From Rabanal I walked up the hill to the next town -Foncebadon. It was the home of the 12th century hermit Gaucelmo who built a church and Pilgrim hospital there. In recent years there has been a lot of renovation of abandoned houses and of the main street.
It takes awhile to walk to an elevation of 1,504 meters, (4,934 feet) above sea level to Cruz de Ferro.
Cruz de Ferro is a place where Pilgrims seem to take time to honor their journey, or the “journey” of loved ones. I added a stone that I picked up along the camino. Other pilgrims bring the stonefrom home or other token of love and blessing to the base of the cross or to the great pile that “witnesses” our journey.
