• Camino Day 9 - Los Arcos to Viana

    June 30, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    While it was another scorcher, we planned well and enjoyed our day. We started at 6 am from Los Arcos to beat the heat. We planned for breakfast in Torres del Rio at 8 am and then seeing the church when it opened at 9am. We were only going to Viana so could still beat the heat for the long section after that.

    The trail was much more interesting than yesterday and we enjoyed the walk despite the heat which again neared 100 as we finished. We rolled into town and each enjoyed a bath before stopping by the farmacia for blister care. After that we found some fellow peregrinos at a bar and enjoyed some wine and conversation.

    We were able to see the church before mass and it was quite beautiful. Grace stayed for mass but I returned to the hotel to write this and relax.
