Day 11 Pueblo de Sanabria to Pardonelo The start of the climb from the valleys, plains and rivers

 

 

 

 

 

Today the rivers and the song Nature boy really caught my attention

Apart from the ongoing challenge of the body – the right foot is coping better now – the left shin splints are making me conscious of each step – which is not a bad thing

Now at 1305m above sea level in the small village of Padornelo – lucky to get a room for the night – am sharing with fellow Peregrino – Graham

Rivers of this area

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some geography of interest  – The lowest elevation point of this Camino was in Zamora crissing the magnificent Rio Duero at 622m

Today started in Puebla de Sanabria at 936m above sea level – the town is between two rivers the Castro which feeds into the Tera – The Tera river in turn feeds into the Esla which in turn feeds the Duero River which eventually feeds into Porto in Portugal – it runs a long way and of great commercial significance
