Cacabelos-RUITELAS
7th stage
Sunday, May 9
26 km uninterrupted rain
There is not a bar to a hot breakfast, Te by machines.
Spaniards say, "the Luvia moja, the Luvia weight" (the rain washes, weighs the rain) and it 's true. There is humor, but the way someone does not take the bus, coughs and colds appear. We
you go. Today I will reach
Paola, I can not wait to bring the shirts with the insignia of our mission!
Water up to Villafranca del Bierzo, where is the church of San Francesco and the church of St. James the Apostle. Beautiful both in St. James but there's the arch of the Pardon.
Tomorrow we face the terrible rise of O 'Cebreiro and the ancient pilgrims who came here ill or sick walk ended. The priest opened them only to the Arco del Perdon and gave Compostela. Many are buried in front of the Arc. After a climb to the mountain range Villafranca del Bierzo, it is good as Trentino our rivers, forests, green ... ... but for the Jubilee 2000 Galicia has made the highway the faster way to transport the pilgrims' s bus, which had already made new even the old national road and we now do the pilgrims walk across this stage behind the guard rail! Paola
Arrived! He tells us that after a sleepless night on the bus between Madrid and Villafranca has found refuge (and breakfast) at the Hospital of Villafranca, where he got his first map. We waited in Ruitelas, 15 km after Villafranca, where we slept and ate very well. Invests it with presentations: ... He is Leonardo, he is Ivan, he is Chilean, he is the Australian ... Imelda on with the English, the story of Alfred Molinaseca ...
A feature of the way and we had a ospitalero Knight of Malta, a temple to the reception and Ruitelas' managed by Tibetan Buddhists.
