Day 8-Vigo to Arcade, Spain
May 27, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Today was only 13 miles, but some of the steep hills with our backpacks were brutal. Many of the views were spectacular. The stories we heard of people from all over were amazing. I suffered near the end from legs that were yelling at me and stiff knees. It was hard to move. I am fortunate because with a hot shower, nap, and yes, even an Advil, it helped.

Lots of life lesson la and reflections today. How can I use these normal, everyday lessons to create positive change in me and my life? Here is a topic I’ll explore on Day 9.Read more

TravelerI am with you on your hike and noticed a jump from day 10 to 13? Did I miss something?

TravelerI think I missed a day or two to post! Let me check. We have walked every day, a low of 7.5 miles to a high of just over 20. With an average between 13-15 miles. The distance is not so bad as the climbing with our heavy backpacks😃. We each have gotten 1 blister which we have managed well. The end of the days are harder, of course, than the mornings😀. We are usually out the door no later than 8 am and done between 3:30 and 6, depending on the mileage and mountains.
