May 15, 2023,Santiago de Compostela - Monte Pedroso

Komoot discovered very beautiful forest and river paths for me.
Monte Pedroso is one of 8 mountains that can be hiked on a circular route around Santiago.
The view all around is fantastic.
The hike started with breakfast and ended with churros con chocolate caliente.
