Santiago de Compestela and back to Porto
8 settembre 2022, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F
What a journey this has been. My compadres each brought a unique and loving gift to this experience. And getting our Compostela provided me the opportunity to express my gratitude to each of them.

Now, back in Porto for a short “recovery” before headed home, my view from the Palace is beckoning for a return trip to Portugal 🇵🇹.Leggi altro

Calda de Reis to Padrón
7 settembre 2022, Spagna ⋅ 🌧 66 °F
Sue and I enjoyed a taxi to Padrón and a few miles up the road to the hotel. Checked in and then headed to town to meet up with the others who were still coming in. Enjoyed a nice lunch of Padron’s finest pimientos. Saw the center of town and then headed to the hotel where I am resting, using Kimberly’s tens unit hoping for a short walk into Santiago de Compostela tomorrow.Leggi altro

Pontevedra to Calda de Reis
6 settembre 2022, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
Kimberly, Alise and I took off early. We saw signs of the coming conclusion of this journey in the throngs of pilgrims joining the trail. Many had started a few towns before and were still fresh and driven. We let them pass. We made it to the entrance of the hot springs but l pretty much was done in. Took a Taxi the final 2 miles to the hotel and had a large bag of ice on my legs and ankles for the rest of the day. Looks like I may have met my limit and the 100% finish goal will have to be met some other time. 149.6 miles. What an experience!Leggi altro

Arcade to Pontevedra
5 settembre 2022, Spagna ⋅ 🌧 64 °F
And then it rained. Beautiful walk. Green Poncho. Wet hat and shoes. Friendly horses and fellow travelers. Lush vegetation and beautiful gardens. Grapes for the picking. Pontevedra is a very happening city. So far, 132.8 miles.Leggi altro

Vigo to Arcade
5 settembre 2022, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
Well, Vigo was quite the big city. And the walk out of the centro was grueling. Straight down, down, down and the thigh burning up, up and up. What could have been a 5 minute taxi ride was at least an hour. Long walk to Arcade, a much smaller town and a sleepy little hotel on the Camino.Leggi altro

Baiona to Vigo
4 settembre 2022, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
Baiona was beautiful but just up the coast to Nigran, and all points surrounding it, was stunning. It made the very long walk a pleasure.
Vigo is quite the city that transforms from shuttered storefronts in the afternoon to a party in the city after 8:00pm.Leggi altro

2 settembre 2022, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
A beautiful wooded walk up to this ancient and happening beach town. Lots of rocky ups and downs but my teammates served as Sherpas to help with my pack and keep me upright. My new nickname is Tortuga.Leggi altro

A Guarda to Oía
1 settembre 2022, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F
The route today took us through some interesting archeological areas, lush native ferns, flowers, sagebrush and cacti. The path was a little tricky for step finding with boulders and rapid elevation. Met a few happy horses and fat cows. Oía is a small town with one big hotel. Appears to be a tourist destination as 2 large buses emptied right in front as we approached. Tomorrow we go to Baiona which was founded in 140 BC.Leggi altro

Water taxi from Portugal into Spain. Off the boat, across the street and up the hill for our walk into town. I think we’ve eaten our way through 11 miles today (water taxi not included). I can at least figure out what’s being said and respond in kind, albeit not that precise. Glad to be in Spain.Leggi altro

Vila de Praia Ancora, PT to Guarda Spain
31 agosto 2022, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F
We said Goodbye to Portugal and Hello to Galicia Spain via water taxi. From the dock through a small park and then across a busy street we started our walk to town. Today was mostly wooded and boulder laden trail and my camera stayed put while the poles kept me upright.
Guarda is a beautiful and traditional town. Siesta lasts until 5:00 and then the streets come to life.Leggi altro
