#26 Villafranca del Bierzo - O Cebreiro | full étape | Camino Francés

[@heldersrs]

Cebreiro! My happiest day in both Caminos (2016 and 2022)! Even if it's hard, but it's SO beautiful! And how beautiful is the "Camino Duro"! I thought to walk it in 2022 but my knee was still in pain then I decided to walk in the valley as usual. Thank you a lot for showing the beauty of this path!

Thank you so much for your comment. It`s also one of my favourite étapes😄 I had very bad knee pain this last summer and had to skip the last kilometers of the Camino Norte, but I hope I can finish it next summer.

Glad you took the high road out of Villafranca - so worth the extra effort! Two big climbs for you - lovely weather and video.

[@CaminoTimeLapse]

Thank you so much for watching! It really was very nice weather. In this first summer of the pandemic (2020) the camino duro was even more lonely than usual.

I took the alternative route out of Villfranca by mistake. It was so hard and seemed like an eternity to complete!!! Up to this day I don't know how I got confused......Love your videos.

I didn't know the alternative route from Villafranca to Trabadelo. Great experience. Thank you Marc, one more time. Love from Florence. Furio

[@CaminoTimeLapse]

Hi Furio, thank you so much for watching. In some years I have seen arrows showing the way up and in other years I think there were no signs at all. I like this way very much, but going down to Trabadelo is quite hard on my knees.

You are like an energized. Going and going hahaha 🤣 I hope I can spot a place to stop and eat in your great videos.

[@CaminoTimeLapse]

😂 the stops are cut out. I try to overlap and cut them as smoothly as possible, they are hard to spot when you don`t know at what times to look closely. There are so many beautiful spots to take a rest and eat a picnic😄

Bravo. Bellissimo video.

[@CaminoTimeLapse]

Thank you so much😄

[@suzannemorgan3538]

Thank you. I like the look of that alternative route. Our last Camino was in the summer of 2015 and it was sleeting as we arrived at O’Cebreiro. Such varied experiences. Great work again.

[@CaminoTimeLapse]

Wow I imagine the mountain terrain was very impressive with that rough weather😄 Thank you very much for watching!

[@stevehaig1804]

[@guillermodelamora5873]

Me Canse de ver, excelente video, buen paso, una pregunta en españa esta altamente prohibido para las bicicletas ir por el lado izquierdo, vi que tu estabas mucho en carretera en ese lado.

Thank you so much for your support😄!

Der Anfang und das Ende dieser Etappe einfach nur wunderschön. Entlang der Strasse durchs Tal eine sehr gefährliche Strecke. Aber auch hier glaube ich gibts eine Alternative, oder?

[@CaminoTimeLapse]

Die Alternative, die ich kenne, ist der Weg über den ersten kleinen Berg (ca. 00:17-5:00). Auf diesem Bergweg kann ein langes Stück an der stark befahrenen Talstrasse umgangen werden. Danach sind mir bislang keine anderen Alternativen bekannt, es ist aber gut möglich, dass es noch welche gibt. Ich würde es jedenfalls auch begrüssen😄

[@cristinarapagna2178]

Thanks for your videos, they are both so informative pre-camino and so heartwarming for post-camino nostalgia! Is it really as steep and tiny as it looks during the climbs? I will be doing this in the next days and am not in great shape - very afraid I won’t make it. 🥲
