    To Gonzar

    19. maj 2025, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Saw a salamander and a cool lizard today. And lots of cows. Made it to Gonzar, not a town maybe just a place to sleep and eat. Nice room. Finally met a pal that was part of our WhatsApp group I had not met in person. We shared a “cheese table” 🤣 more cheese than we needed.Læs mere

    Through Palas de Rei

    20. maj 2025, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Pretty walk today. Crowds not too bad. Weather was perfect! (Haha we whine when it gets over 70°). Stopped at San Cristibal for a cerveza. 🍺 Casa Domingo currently almost empty. So staying in offstage towns seems to be a good plan.

    Heard from my buddy Don from Ohio, he made it to Santiago cathedral today! He’s the first from our main group to make it.    Læs mere

    To Arzúa

    21. maj 2025, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Getting close! Today I passed the 40km marker. Guy on bunk next to me joined the Francés from the Camino Norte today. I’m in a bunk albergue again today. These are nice though, built with stairs on each side.

    Staying at Los 3 Abetos albergue in Arzúa. They have some nice doggos that are very good beggars.    Læs mere

    O Pedrouzo

    22. maj 2025, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    I am not quite into O Pedrouzo. Glamping in a tent! The tent is awesome, comes with two beds, so I am wasting. There’s a big bar with a really tasty sangria on tap, the common Spanish frozen pizzas, and other super fancy food 🤣

    Fidel, the nice owner moved up from Southern Spain, renovated this place and opened it two months ago he says. Pretty cool idea. I found it on booking . com
    A couple weeks ago, and told some of my Camino friends, and I know three people who have stayed here on previous days. I should get a commission!

    Met a nice librarian, Vivian from Calgary, in the tent next-door, and Ralph from Germany is here as well.
    Tomorrow is the big day! I will be done walking!    Læs mere

    Last day walking!

    23. maj 2025, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Didn’t leave until almost 9am! Unheard of! But my theory was, I was before a major town so I would let all the people in the major stage Town leave and I would have more quiet trails to myself. It pretty much worked. I still saw lots of people but it didn’t get as crowded. I also forgot to put my tent padlock key in the key box on the way out so I had to hike an extra couple kilometers when I realized I had to go back. D’oh!Læs mere

    Finisterre

    25. maj 2025, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Bus tour to Finisterre (the end of the world, from Roman point of view) and also to Muxia. We saw the longest horrio (grain storage Galician small building thing) in the world. And only European waterfall that falls into the ocean water.Læs mere

    Porto

    27. maj 2025, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Took the bus from Santiago to Porto. Under 3 hours. Had a nice Canadian lady next to me. Nice green country most of the way. In Porto, struggled with bag on metro and up many hills and stairs. (Should have taken uber) Then I went on a port wine tour, learned way too much about port wine but also some interesting Portuguese history. On the way back to my room at “A Portuguese Guest House” these two nights, I stopped for Ramen.Læs mere

    Porto day 2

    27. maj 2025, Portugal ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

    My long adventure is really almost over now. I spent a second day in Porto. In the morning I went to the Mercado do Bolhão where I had some tasty Pastel de Nata (Custard Tart) and yummy small squarish empanada type thing filled with Portuguese stew. I love trying all these different foods!

    After that I did a last-minute three hour walking tour, learn lots of history and saw lots of architecture and other fun stuff. It’s really nice here today in the 70s. Grabbed a Pãu for lunch, to keep the Portuguese food tasting experience going.

    For dinner I had to try one more iconic Porto dish, this one is the Guede. Pictures here.    Læs mere
