Sarria to Portomarin - 25km

Yesterday we walked 25km from Sarria to Portomarín. The scenery was beautiful again, rolling hills, quiet country roads, and lots of green. But suddenly, it got really crowded! This part of the Camino is known as the ‘home stretch’, where loads of tourists join in to walk the last 100km and get their Compostela. Some even take the bus for parts of it! There was a bit of weaving through the crowds, but we decided not to stress and just enjoy the day for what it was. We passed through lots of farms, with cows and sheep being herded right past us.

The best part of the day was that we reached the 100km mark! Definitely a good feeling! Still a way to go, but it feels like we’re on the home run now.

When we arrived in Portomarin, we were reunited with our mate Ian from Qld, We met Ian when we arrived in St Jean, where we were all anxiously awaiting our journey.

Both of us have picked up a cold, but nothing too serious. Feeling motivated for the next few days. Not sure how we feel about hanging up our Camino boots though!Read more
