One month ago today

I have embarked on the actual Camino Frances
31 days later and only about 70km away from Santiago I can look back at one of the greatest trips of my life and just shake my head...

19km today in cold Temps and intermittently drizzling rain.....
I hope that my albergue tomorrow has a dryer since pretty much everything now doesn't get past "damp"...and I still have 5 more days.

Consulting the map below from marker 8 just after Gonzar to marker 27 after Palace del Rei...
Still a good clip of ups and downs but no Zubiri or O Cebreiro 🙃

Messire Jacques nous attend,
Depuis toujours son sourire fixe
Le soleil qui meurt au Finisterre.Read more
