Wow! The walk in reverse was so awesome!!!! There is a very steep descent when you walk from torres del Rio to Viana. Which means there is a steep ascent walking the other way.

We decided to take the “short cut” up. Not sure it was really a short cut. 😂

We encountered a few pilgrims who commented on us walking back. I’m still a huge fan and pretty sure it’s our next camino even though we have several planned.
Viana is a beautiful city as is Torres del Rio. We had a lovely stay in Torres Del Rio.

Walking back to Viana was also fun. This is a walk that I remember being super challenging on all my other caminos. There is one steep up and this time (after the Primitivo and the Frances) it didn’t seem so hard. I think it’s all in perspective.


Being active for two months, walking, climbing, being a pilgrim changes all the muscles in your body including your brain and heart.

I love this about pilgrimage. Which is why I consider myself and everyday pilgrim. Buen Camino!
