Day 11: Villafranca to Srria (69 km)

From Villafranca, we will climb through unspoiled countryside of heather and broom, pines, chesnuts and aoks enjoyin a magnificent view over the Valcare Valley up to El Cebreiro, famous for its 'pallozas', straw-roofed dwellings. In Samos, we might visit a monastery before continuing on to Sarria and with its Monastery of La Magdelena and its hospitable Mercedarian monks.

Samos Monastery

We were going to skip visiting here in order to take shorter route, but eventually we joined the tour in the monastery and took the longest route other than the normal route, If I haven't been there,  I would regret. The monastery and the road were so beautiful.
