Uterga

Med 756 meter er Sierras del Perdón det højeste punkt på de næste 170 km. Både når man går op, og når man går ned igen, er det sidstnævnte, der kræver mere forsigtighed og en solid fod.

History

Navnet stammer fra kapellet Nuestra Señora del Perdon, der engang stod her. En legende fortæller os, at det var langs stigningen til alto, at djævlen fristede en tørstig pilgrim; han tilbød at afsløre placeringen af en kilde i bytte for hans sjæl. Pilgrimmen nægter og bliver senere belønnet af Santiago selv, som tilbyder vand til en meget mere "pilgrimsvenlig" pris.

Camino de Sant…

While there is a food truck of sorts, it’s been downgraded to canned sodas and packaged danishes. But you can get a stamp for your pilgrim passport.

Camino de Sant…

Going down took more time and energy then going up. Very lose rocks and steep too.

Camino de Sant…

about 1.5 km of the way up from zariquegui is loose, big-sized gravel, and the trail is very steep in some portions, so be very careful! the walking stick is essential to prevent sliding & slipping. going down is worse, same conditions. Good luck!
