    Santiago to Ventosa

    May 13 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    And off I went this morning towards the next goal…. A little easier to achieve I have to say.
    I have the time, so I am walking a lot fewer kilometers every day.
    Without the fear of not making it to Santiago weighing heavily on my mind, I set out to walk slowly and enjoy every second of this stage.
    Most Camino pilgrims decide to travel to Finisterre and Muxia by bus, just to say they have been there, but there were still some walking. However, the vibe was different. Most looked at me like “Why are you even talking to me?” when I said “Hello” or “Buen Camino”. I guess they had decided to walk the extra miles but they were mostly done with the excitement of meeting other pilgrims… they just wanted to get there and get it done. Fine with me… I was completely content hanging out with myself inside my own head.
    Besides, my state of mind is different. I am here to enjoy the ride!
    The path continues to be less challenging than before, and the lushy green surrounds the path along the way, mixed with some residential clusters with beautifully manicured gardens amidst old buildings every now and then.

    Ventosa: Stayed at Casa du Boi.
