We started out at 9 and the first stop after 2km was the Cruz hierro (Iron cross) which is one of the highest points on the Camino Frances. I found out last night that pilgrims traditionally carry a stone there from where they started the Camino. When they throw the stone at the cross their sins are forgiven. The next 50km to Villafranca del bierzo weren't difficult but afterwards the roads starting to rise. The major challenge of the day was the climb up to O Cebreiro which took a few hours. The climbing continued for another few kilometers before a 10km descent into Triacastela where we took the first room we could find.
