We are off to rainy Spain

We had a long, long day travelling with a delay in a hot, sweaty, and extremely full Frankfurt airport. Late in bed in the Gran Hotel de Ferro, after something to eat at a local restaurant. We wokeЧитать далее
The calm before the storm

We walked to the start point, only to be told that they had run out of credentials (Stamp books) and be directed back from where we came....2hrs hours later we secured the relevant booklet and headedЧитать далее
Café con Leche

We had a great little breakfast and then headed off on our Camino. An interesting walk out of the city along the coastline. As Inga didn't have time this morning, we stopped off for a bit of Yoga nextЧитать далее
Day 1 Ferrol to Narón

The weather cleared up this afternoon, and after stopping for refreshments, we carried on towards the overnight stop. We booked into a small but lovely room with a beautiful view out over the bay. WeЧитать далее
Donnerwetter und dann Tapas

It was proper **ssing down, so we went just across the road to the local bar. The owner was super Gastfreundlich and supplied us with ample food to accompany our drinks and even a small bowl of theЧитать далее
Day 2 Narón to Puertoduema

We had a lovely breakfast looking out over dark rain clouds...four Americano's later and following a hail storm, we ventured out. Pilar was equipped for torrential rain in her dinosaur outfit, whichЧитать далее
Day 3 Ponteduema to Minô

We had a walk around the town after breakfast and then headed off around midday. It was a bit of a shock to the system with a steep climb out of the town, but it led us on a beautiful walk throughЧитать далее
Day 4 Minô to Betanzos

Had a lovely walk through some beautiful countryside again today. It was fairly hilly and the weather was changeable, but we arrived in good time. Betanzos is an old city and worth visiting again. WeЧитать далее
Day 5 Betanzos to Beche Camp

We woke up to a rainy Spain, and apart from the occasional brief glimpses of sunshine, it remained so all day. The hotel was okay, but we both had a terrible night sleep. After a not so greatЧитать далее
Day 6 Beche Ecocamp to Fogar do Vento

Wet and windy day. The route was the usual up and down through forests, which provided shelter from the horizontal rain. The highlight of the trail was upon entering the only Café, come bar,Читать далее
Day 7 Fogar do Vento to Ordes

We woke up to rain. It seems to be the theme for the Camino this year, the rain in Spain. Fully poncho'd up we set off yet again into the eye of the storm. The first Café to appear through the mistЧитать далее
Day 8 Ordes to Sigüeiro

We went for a meal in a typical Spanish restaurant last night. At first, I thought we may have made a bad choice as they served up a Tapa of crisps that were a bit soggy... but when the food came,Читать далее
Day 9 Siguero to Santiago de Compostela

Final day and the weather God's were being kind to us...no rain. We set out after a lovely breakfast and headed off into the woods. It is remarkable that despite being so close to a big city, the pathЧитать далее
Best Mejillones ever!

I did the washing whilst Pilar soaked her weary mussels in the bath. We then went out for an evening stroll through the city and ended up in my favourite bar that serves the best mejillones ever!
Pilgrims Mass

We all attended the Pilgrims Mass in the Cathedral as a fitting end to our journey. Pilar took Mass for us all by going to the front and returned in tears. Despite the Service being in Spanish, it wasЧитать далее
Last night out in Santiago

We met up with our fellow Perigrinos at 7 pm. The Guinness Magnet has not been functioning the entire trip, but fortunately, my Eagle eyes spotted 'ss' on a black background . Micha deployedЧитать далее
So long farewell...but never goodbye!

Farewell Desayuno!

We had one last sunny breakfast together on the university platz. Whilst it did not seem so great walking in the rain, the sunshine this morning is glorious but too hot to be walking. Pilar hasЧитать далее
