Left at 7 am after a great sleep.
It was quite challenging getting out of the city. I think it took around 45 minutes .
I finally saw 2 pilgrims who breezed by me walking very quickly.

Slept well. Up at 530. It was a cute place with a clothes line out the window very convenient.
Off in the dark and had someone redirect me. Nope I still suck at navigation🙄

Путешественник Looks like you traveling in the valleys with pastures and the forests are on tgmhe hilltops. What holiday is October 12?
Путешественник What is tortilla bocadillio? How is the primitivo compared to the Del Norte, is it a lot harder?
Путешественник Answer to the first question: An omelet in a bun. Usually the omelet is served on a plate with a slice of bread. Second question answer. The Primitivo is up and down all day with few flat stretches. It gives your muscles variety which is great It is mostly on dirt trails and gravel roads pl ess pavement walking for sure. My feet don't hurt as much and don't get as hot as they did on the Note. The Norte was difficult only in the first section then it was generally OK with steep sections but not like the Primitivo You can look at my elevation each day of the Norte vs Primitivo. I did love the coastal views and towns but too much pavement and mostly on highways not on trails in the forest. It is a perfect mixture to do both I would say. I hope that helps💖

So I learned that one must ensure that your Camelback drinking valve is closed before one goes to bed 😱
What a mess!!? I began the day trying to dry my pack and contents.
After that it was great.Читать далее

Путешественник That's going to be some climb - hope you are not so tired that it will beo verly effortful & discouraging. The kind of tired I think you are describing can really drain the body and soul. Good luck!
Путешественник Thanks so much Vicki. Believe it or not climbing up is my Super Power.....coming down well not so much 😳

So i had to wait until the bar opened at 7 so I could have breakfast. Said goodbye to Avril who was going by bus to Santiago and then fly to Southern Spain for some sun.
The forecast is for rain theЧитать далее
Путешественник Wow! Mountain walking amazing variety. Can't wait to see the pictures. What other phone. I thought the Google was fried.
Путешественник Ah - my old camera that went to all sorts of unfriendly environments no longer works in the humidity - its functions just go berserk. But it still works fine here, so maybe you will be lucky... Gotta love mountains! But, not rain.
Путешественник Nice photos. You really were up there. Looks like Nanaimo weather

It was a very strange place I stayed at the Occidente Albergue. I did not see any other Pilgrims at all. The whole place smelled of fried fish!
Everything was closed because it was a Sunday excludingЧитать далее
Путешественник Wow Mom, looks like you're doing great. Another big climb done. It looks very pretty there. How much farther to go?
Путешественник 5 days left for the Primitivo and then it joins the Camino Francis
Путешественник It was sooooo eerie. The picture captures that. This was better than in the dark for sure!

This was a very long stage but very scenic.
There was only one bar to get food and drinks so it was a challenge mentally as well as physically.
The weather was pretty good. It did not rain. It wasЧитать далее
Путешественник The mountains seemed very challenging. When are you planning another rest day?
Путешественник Bungee cord or belt?
Путешественник Thank-you. I tried this wire thing but it really was uncomfortable. I have a belt I can use👍🥰
