O Cebreiro Arrival

Arriving in O Cebreiro, we checked into our rooms and went to the restaurant, to replenish the lost fluid and calories. Seriously, it is amazing how dehydrated you can get walking in the cold with a poncho on, sweating. It is hard to determine if you are getting wet from the mist/rain or from perspiration. We all went through our water rations and more.
The hotel reception was a little cold, perhaps indicative of the freezing weather up here. Lunch was very mediocre and the highlight of the meal was the beer and the wine.
One thing about the vino de casa, is that it has always been very palatable and a great compliment to the food. Here is a happy-snap of the hotel and a view across the valley when the clouds fell low-enough to expose the mountain tops.....(TL).
