Day 10
Arzua
September 8, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
After a really comfortable stay at the Hotel Lux in Melide, it was time to get to Arzua.

In Arzua I am stayed at the hotel 1930 which was a bit of a disappointment. Small room and I felt like it was a bit damp, didn’t really sleep well.

Had dinner with the Sac people and 2 more Americans joined up with us. Had a really nice cheese appetizer with delicious local cheese. Then I had a meat lasagna and the local cheese mousse with blueberries- it was delicious.

They had an interesting market the day I got there.Read more

Day 12
Santiago de Compostela
September 10, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
Early start after having a quick coffee and toast at the Pension O Muino. I couldn’t wait to get to Santiago de Compostela.
So excited to reach Monto do Gozo where you can see the city of Santiago de Compostela below you. Just a few more km to go.

The markers along the entire route have been so consistent and they were everywhere- on the side of houses, on the ground, on sign posts - everywhere. But suddenly as we are entering Santiago, there were just a few, pointing straight ahead, and then just stopped.
But of course , pilgrims know that they get the Compostela somewhere by the Cathedral and you could see the cathedral’s spires from almost anywhere.

There where so many pilgrims at this point, I just followed them and all worked out perfectly. Got my Compostela within about 10 minutes.Read more

Day 13
Final day in Santiago de Compostela
September 11, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
Stayed 2 nights at the Hotel Costa Vella. Again a small room but very cozy and

Juan found out through his sister that someone from the US paid to have the Botafumeiro swing during the 9:30am Mess, so we met there and it was quite impressive as you can see from the video.

It was fun exploring the old town of Santiago with all the little alleys and people everywhere. Also stores and restaurants everywhere. The Cathedral is absolutely majestic, nothing that my iPhone camera could even try to capture, so you’ll just have to look at the pics on the web.

We ended with a nice dinner with the two couples and I packed my bag again for a next day departure to Barcelona. Before leaving I had a very nice breakfast at the Hotel.

Barcelona here we come - 3 nights at the Yurbban Ramblas - then home sweet home.Read more
