• Day 41 - As Quintas to A Lavacolla

    August 1, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Last night's small albergue was full with nine people. Everyone else had come from other Camino routes that merge with the Camino Frances. The salmon dinner and company were enjoyable. Unfortunately, all the snoring wasn't. Grace slept fine with her CPAP, but it was a restless night for me. Fortunately, good coffee was only a kilometer away in the morning.

    We had a 24 km day so stopped several times for refreshments. We had "the best tortilla on the Camino" and it actually was. We saw the guarda civil group again and stopped for a beer and Aquarius before the last big hill. No churches or other points of interest on this day so we still made it to our albergue before it opened at 2 p.m.

    Tonight's albergue is very big with sectioned off bunks and a bit empty so it should be a better night for sleeping. It has a beautiful garden and backyard.

    It seems a bit unreal to finally be walking into Santiago tomorrow, and it's only a 10 km walk.
