Camino Do Mar - Stage 4

An easy day today with a walk just over 6 miles. That was perfect because it’s helping us both get our feet in shape for tomorrow, which will be a bit over 20 miles.

It’s Mother’s Day Sunday here in Spain, but we found an open bakery to grab coffee and pastries and started our walk under overcast skies and some light mist that quickly abated. As with the previous day, the path out of town was a well paved path by the ocean. In fact, most of the walk had good views and a nice trail with only one section heading slightly inland and down a grassy but mostly dry trail.

We ended the day in San Cibrao, a small fishing town. A part of the town sits on a small peninsula that has a lighthouse and harbor. It’s quaint, picturesque, and feels very Galician.

Fun fact, apparently they put the statue of the mermaid on trial each year. She’s always found guilty, then pardoned. After which the town parties the night away on the beach.

Our apartment is right on the main square and overlooks the beach and the ocean. As I write this post on our couch I’m looking and listening to waves (see the last photo for the view I’m looking at).Read more
