Day 0: Oviedo
29 aprile 2023, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Today I arrived in Oviedo, planning to spend the day relaxing and keeping off my feet before starting the Camino tomorrow morning. Fat chance!

I spent most of my day trying to get the official pilgrim passport which had become mysteriously hard to acquire, visiting various religious sites (some open, some closed) and making underhanded deals with priests to get what I needed.

But I am here, I have my official credential and the poles I sent ahead. After 17,000 steps on my "rest day" I'll be spending my evening doing nada.

I also tried a local delicacy for lunch called cachopo which is basically a jamon and cheese toastie where they use two steaks instead of bread. Now I'm round and slow.Leggi altro

We start with one of the longer days of hiking. I was surprised how scenic this walk was immediately, less than an hour from starting in the middle of the city it gets very green and cow-filled.

Highlights of the day other than the great views you can see in the photos:

- Cows, cows, cows
- Dogs, dogs, dogs
- Cats, cats, cats
- Almost stepping on a giant snake
- A jamon and queso sandwich for €2
- The first beer after reaching the hostel
- Getting the communal showers to myself so I don't have to cop an eye of too much sweaty sausage

Downside of the day:

-Top bunk

Now I'm off to the supermarket because it's labour day tomorrow and I don't want to run out of cheese and haribo.Leggi altro

I started the day like a gorilla in the most but rose above it, literally and figuratively, as you can see.

Easy walk today other than getting my ass kicked for an hour at the start but there are the beginnings of whisperings of blisters, so taking it easy this evening and giving my feet some love.

Highlights:

- Suspicious cats
- Free lunch
- Baby goats
- Cows, cows, cows

Lowlights:

- Angry foot
- Carrying a small supermarket on my back for no reason other than poor impulse control
- Suprise onion

Another reasonably relaxed one today though noone seemed to tell my feet that. I arrived at my hostel to find it has mini golf, but I don't want to stand for more than 2 mins at a time so I'll just be sitting here with a beer, hoying balls in by hand.

Highlights:

- Cat friend
- Donut time
- A Spanish person asked if I was Spanish
- Cows, cows cows
- Very green 💚
- Hostel with golf

Lowlights:

- Too much tarmac
- Not enough goats
- SO HOT

The most famous part of the route. I took the hospitales path which takes you high into the mountains with epic views. Weirdly today felt the easiest despite being up hill all day, probably because it was the first day that the sun was not actively trying to murder me.

Highlights:

- Views
- Avoiding the weird guy all day
- Cows, cows, cows
- Clouds

Lowlights:

- Splinter
- Lack of sleep due to insane snoring from above that sounded like someone trying to start a cat like a lawnmower
