PLANNING<\/b><\/p>\n

Some places stay with you long after you first see them in a photograph. When I saw this image on social media about a year and a half ago, I knew I had to visit and bring my own perspective to this fantastic location.<\/p>\n

For the all-too-familiar reasons associated with the coronavirus pandemic, however, I could not visit until mid-July 2020.<\/p>\n

For this little adventure, I joined two of my regular companions, Carlos Fornos and Felipe Souto, on a one-night trip from Galicia to the Monastery of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Risco in the province of \u00c1vila.<\/p>\n

Our first challenge was to work out how far we could drive. Google Maps showed a dirt track leading from Amavida to the monastery, in the heart of the Ambl\u00e9s Valley.<\/p>\n
