Camino Photo of the Day: the View into the Valley

The Way climbed high above the river. From the vantage point near the top, I could see farms and gardens spreading out from the banks, so it appears this rough route was designed to avoid the farmers’ property. I was already dripping with sweat, and the forest was warm and humid. It was only when I came to a bit of a clearing that I realized that my path was at the same altitude as the tops of the cliffs that I had seen yesterday.

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.
