Waymark

Shaded tracks



The cross of San Telmo, marking the spot where the Saint died returning from Santiago. Beyond is the Bridge of Fevers!

A Madelena - the 5 crosses - and it is starting to rain.

At this point, one arrives at the large village square in Orbenlle, with 2 good cafes. Beyond thism is a 10 km. trudge through the indiustiral suburbs of Porrino. An alternative is to spend a few euros on a taxi!
