Palas de Rei to Arzúa- 18.3 mi

October 1st
Started at 6:00 am
Ended at 2:30 pm
Staying at Alberque Pencion Cima Do Lugar in Arzúa.

Had some delicious breakfast while walking out of Palas de Rei, the pastry was some sort of banana and chocolate topped creation that we loved! There was a sweet soufflé style biscuit and of course a wonderful cafe con leche.

Easy to navigate during the dark portion of the morning. The moon was bright and the sky was clear. We never even needed to switch on a headlamp.

Saw Suzette and Michelle in a cute little town. Left them and walked into a nice lunch spot with Cokes and toasts with bacon and fried egg on top.

Warm day overall, but enough shade to make it bearable. Glad to be done and ready to sip Radlers!

Two more day’s walking until Santiago de Compostela! Each are around 12 miles. That’s great. I don’t have any of these 18 milers left in me.

We are both already getting the feeling that we don’t want this journey to end, yet we miss our loved ones at home. I want to hit replay!

Siesta time for us!

After siestas we went for pizza made by two Italians who met on the Camino, fell in love, came back to Spain and opened a pizzeria. It was so incredible!Read more
