Day 29 - The Descent to Ponteferrada

What goes up, must come down, and the descent from Cruz de Ferro, the highest point of the Camino, is in a word, hellish. Several miles of what once might have been a Roman road, now a steep, rutted, eroding goat path. It was bad in 2013 and worse now. 
We made it to the delightful town of Molinaseca, had a beer, and John made a new friend. Then we walked another 7 km to Ponteferrada. A very long 16 mile day.
