You leave Riello behind and the road begins a slow climb. The land grows rougher and the villages get smaller. With every kilometre, it gets quieter around you.
This is a long stage of almost 29 kilometres. You climb all day, sometimes gradually, sometimes steeply, and you will feel it in your legs. More than eight hours on the road is nothing unusual. Fasgar is a small village, so book ahead. There is a public pilgrim albergue, and you will be glad to reach it. Take it easy, the mountain isn’t going anywhere.
