Triacastela to Sarria

Our final day of walking. We have walked / hiked 200km.
It was appropriate today was Amr’s birthday to celebrate him and the finish of our Camino.
Today’s walk was just over 18km and a 230m ascent. I asked Mum if she’d like to get a bus / taxi any part of the way, I was told no. Knowing I have been told this before, I let it be.
We set off with Sandee and Tim around 9am.
It was a beautiful walk, perhaps I’m getting used to the longer distances, however it didn’t feel as strenuous. There were, as anticipated, and sometimes unexpected, up hill climbs and descents through forests. There weren’t as many places to stop for coffee along the way.
About 7kms in we came across a hippy commune, offering various snacks. Sandee and Tim explored a labyrinth of quartz and Mum and I chilled. We took off again and at just over the half way mark we found a fab little taberna for lunch.
The rest of the walk was mainly a slow winding path into Sarria via the picturesque countryside.
Mum and I have another spacious room - so we can spread out. Great as we are here for two days.
After downtime we walked to meet Sandee and Tim at their hotel for a celebratory drink of finishing our Camino. It was a lovely catch up and they are such a great couple who we have enjoyed sharing the Camino.
Mum and I headed off to a restaurant recommended by our host. It was a great choice. Coincidentally, Golan showed up and was thrilled to join us for dinner. A relaxed dinner and a toast to Amr back at the hotel.
Over to Ma…

It has been a good day, filled with Amr thoughts…so many people have reached out…he is still remembered by so many…even our Camino people had flowers sent in our room in memory of him…Today’s walk was through beautiful countryside, corn, cows, beautiful valleys…so peaceful…a perfect last day of walking and contemplation…an Amr day…but every day is an Amr day.
We were having a dinner by ourselves, but by sheer coincidence Golan appeared, and joined us which was delightful…he is so nice, and seems to enjoy our company….with the oldies…that even includes Cathy !!! So we are now back in our spacious quarters…a toast to Amr..💜💜💜もっと詳しく
