Requejo – Lubián

22/4

A good nights sleep (13 hours) is very rewarding. The couph has nearly gone.

My company the last three days are going to use a taxa because of short of time. So I’m on my own, first 10km up to Padornelo, then 8km down to Lubián.

The start was very okay, but suddenly I ran into a very big road construction area.

There was no arrows, nothing to indicate the camino, so I simply tried to hold me as close to my gps track as possibly. Very steep ascent, 30 degree I guess.

At the top shortly before Padornelo there was of course a little cruz.

After a short coffee break it went down again. The sign and the route was a little confusing, but after some kilometers the landscape became more and more beautiful.

Lubián is a little charming pueblo, some 300 inhabitants. It is one of the few bilingual municipalities in the province of Zamora. Its inhabitants habitually use Spanish as well as Galician. And we are only 10km from the the border to Portugal.

And this is my habitación individual before I got it totally vandalized.
