Camino Portugués

Today we got a late start & I blame it on the hotel breakfast (which we mistakenly thought was free). Around 17 miles later we made our way up the main street of Santiago de Compostela, sweating & weaving through college kids…to the main cathedral. Hundreds of smelly pilgrims from around the world were relaxing in the shady areas & basking in their achievement. We took a few pictures, then made our way to the pilgrim’s reception office where they checked our stamp book, confirmed our legitimacy & gave us our certificates. It took 175~ miles, a few blisters & a swollen ankle, but we’ve completed the Camino & we are celebrating with a few big beers 🍺.Les mer
