    Day 13 walking the Camino

    October 11, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Started our final day on the Camino in Padron (same name as the famous tapas peppers). It was a long day; 21.5 kms. We walked through small little hamlets and some forested areas. Saw lots of cats today and stopped for lunch at A Casina Galega in Picarana. Had the largest BLT either of us has ever seen. We actually laughed when they were put in front of us as there was not a chance we could eat more than half. There was however a very sweet stray cat who joined us on the patio and she really enjoyed the bacon from my uneaten half sandwich. Saw some more cute animals today and a farm where the scarecrows are dressed for Halloween. On the edge of Santiago someone had decorated the front of their home with some figures. Also wanted to share something we've seen in several cities; the public park exercise equipment. We also saw this in Portugal along the coastline. Such a cool idea. Finally we arrived in Santiago and did the obligatory selfie in front of the Cathedral. It is an awe inspiring place. And then we went and celebrated with ice cream!Read more
