Camino Photo of the Day: Ruin Everywhere

There are not just one, but four ruins in the Alzou Gorge on the way to Rocamadour. All were mills, and each ruin is progressively less impressive than the previous. I think this is the second one. By the time you get to the fourth, you’d completely miss it if there wasn’t a sign. Anyway, it seems a perfect image given that it’s Halloween when I post this, and my mood has been pretty crummy this week. Here’s hoping next week is happier!

Maps!

The site I’ve been using for my daily maps, Gronze.com, while otherwise great, unfortunately doesn’t have maps for this variant. So here’s a map from my book Practical Pilgrimage showing the entirety of the three main variants and larger sub-variants. I walked the GR6 from Figeac to Rocamadour and the GR46 on to Cahors.
