Camino Photo of the Day: the Long Dark Tunnel

The Camino is not all glamourous medieval villages, soaring Gothic Cathedrals, and beautiful scenery. Sometimes you have to go through a damp, smelly concrete tunnel under a highway. That’s just how it goes. There’s an important lesson there, I think. And eventually you get to the end of the tunnel back into the light.

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.
