Day 15 - Caldas de Reis to Padrón

Trains, planes and automobiles.
And boats.
And, of course, walking.
I think we just need a donkey to complete the set.

Up early and headed out of town by bus, after much head scratching because some of the bus stops are not sign posted. People will just be randomly be standing at the side of the road, and that’s where the bus will stop. But, we did it! Bus to Vilagarcia de Arousa, and then bus again to Vilanova de Arousa, for the grand total of €3.10 each.

Then, we caught a boat up the sea and river to Pontecesures and a short walk into Padrón - ta-dah! If only all our walking days had been so easy. Amazing sunshine again, decent enough apartment, tiniest of tiny towns, walk around to get more stamps and the Predonía (fancy certificate!), and we ended up making sandwiches for dinner because no restaurants were open. The lady at the supermarket counter took a shine to Paul, so we got chorizo for free 😂

Feeling excited about tomorrow, but also a little anxious. My shin splint is better but not great, and tomorrow we have around 25km ahead of us.
My ankle feels better when going uphill, and luckily the route is mostly uphill - serendipity strikes again!

¡Buen Camino!Læs mere
