Pilgrims on the Way

Camino Photo of the Day: Into Rocamadour

The town and shrines of Rocamadour are built into the side of a cliff. This stair is the main access to the old medieval town. It is just the first of many such stairs I will climb today. I took this photo at about 11:20 AM. It was very hot, as you can probably surmise by the colour of the sky, and I was very much looking forward to finding a café in the shade.

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.
