Tricastela to Barbadelo

Day 29, Oct 5; 26k day

The Gaicia region is so much greener and parts of it even remind me of Portland. Coming into fall, the morning light isn't really present until after 8am or even 8:30am, but most of my Camino family continues to hit the road in the dark, before or by 7am. I've decided to hang back a little each moring in order to get an eyeful of whatever I'm passing on my walk. We all still meet at the same destination though each afternoon and they've always made sure I've had a bed waiting for me. I'm so blessed!

There are also 2 others in the group who have been getting a later start with me. Somedays we walk almost the whole way with each other's company, but there are also plenty of times when I peel off and walk on my own. The scenery is gorgeous and my camera doesn't come close to relaying all that I actually saw, but that certainly didn't stop me from taking photos.Read more
