We arrived here at the end of the world staying in a nice apartment for a few days. We decided tonight to catch the sunset at the famous landmark and lighthouse.
This is also, kms 0 for the Camino.

Though here at journey's end I lie In darkness buried deep, Beyond all towers strong and high, Beyond all mountains steep, Above all shadows rides the Sun And Stars for ever dwell: I will not say the Day is done, Nor bid the Stars farewell.

One last attempt to see the Botafumeiro in action and we caught it… Unbelievable!
The smoke from the Botafumeiro originates from when it was used to bless and cleanse them from disease.Read more

We caught the guys outside preparing the smoke for the Botafumeiro. It is a giant incense burner. We tried our best to get in the door with them - but they told us what times to come back tomorrow. Also added a picture of a QR code which might give the Digital catalog of everything.Read more

Lavacolla- Santiago de Compostela
Another foggy start to the morning walk. After figuring where we actually were - we still had over 10kms to go. So, up early and on the trail by 7:45.
Beautiful trees among the fog on the way.
Our new friends Aura & Frederic suggested we stop to see Monte do Gozo (Hill of Joy) on the way in. Dedicated to the pilgrims and it is supposed to give you the first glimpse of the Cathedral spears.
We got there no problem then our internet connection quit and we were able to navigate the rest of the way over 4.5 kms over a freeway and through the city. This was another 4.5 kms in to the Cathedral and to meet up with Aura & Frederic.
Again just follow the people- not to crowded today.
WOW - we made it. WOW!!
Thanks again for the tour Aura & Frederic!! And for helping us get our Compestella’s. We truly appreciated it!Read more

Tranquil walk to the edge of Santiago
October 1 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

O Pedrouzo - A Lavacolla
When we left Pedrouzo this morning we joining in with numerous Pilgrims coming from all directions. No one saying a word other than Buen Camino. It was truly tranquil and surreal.
The path lead through the woods as it always had and we rounded the end of the Santiago airport with only about 15-20 Pilgrims spread out.
One Pilgrim that we had seen since the rainy days and was a true inspiration was a fellow walking slowly with two elbow crutches and his knee all bandaged up. He was an inspiration from the start- we have seen him everyday since the rain days and I think we stayed in the same Albergue as him one night - tonight he was having dinner where we went. He speaks Spanish so, a few Hola’s and a laugh.
We are on our final walk into Santiago tomorrow morning and kind of plan on getting an early start for our 12 kms.
Buen CaminoRead more

A Nice Peaceful Walk in the fog
September 30 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

A Salseda- O Pedrouzo
Before we begin on the walk today - wow what’s lunch and dinner in the country- 2nd best tasting ribs ever. There really is something about staying in the smaller Albergues versus the larger centres. Friendlier and you quite often find a gem.
Our walk today was to a larger centre and to the last beginning town of the last leg of our journey. The other advantages of staying in the smaller town is that when you set out the crowds are not with you. It was truly peaceful and enjoyable walking into the fog this morning. We stopped for a coffee only 20 minutes in and were the first people there - wow.
The rest of the walk into O Pedrouzo was great. The ‘O’ means it is part of ‘O Pino’ territory I think as in this area begins with O.
All these places remind me of Yellowknife- build on rock and old looking - yet they keep the old abandoned buildings beside the new ones!
Ran in to a trio from Canada - mom & daughter from Ontario and sister from Edmonton- they were excited to meet up with us and full of info.
