Day 36 - A Picota to Cee

Distance: 18.25 miles

Well, once again, the distance on our itinerary was wrong! We were supposed to walk only 14.25 miles today, but it ended up being much longer.

We left A Picota after a simple breakfast, but thankfully we got our coffee first—which is what I need most in the morning. Since we were staying off the Camino, we had to walk a couple of kilometers just to get back on the trail. Fortunately, it wasn’t too difficult.

Today’s journey felt much longer than the actual distance. We passed through a variety of landscapes, including stretches along the main road, and there were plenty of uphill and downhill sections that our legs were not too happy about. Some of the descents were especially challenging, with sharp rocks that required careful footing, and our feet definitely felt every step.

About halfway through the day, the rain arrived. Out came the rain gear and my trusty umbrella, which proved to be a saving grace once again. There were only a few places along the route where we could stop for refreshments and facilities, so we took full advantage of them, enjoying a café con leche and a lemonade before continuing on.

As we walked through a beautiful forest of eucalyptus trees, I started feeling a little weak. Bob and I decided it was the perfect time for a lunch break so we could nourish our bodies, rehydrate, and regain some energy for the miles ahead.

There were not many pilgrims on the Camino today. For most of the walk, it was just Bob and me, enjoying the quiet and solitude of the trail.

When we finally reached Cee, we were more than ready for a hot shower and some time with our feet up. After settling in, we headed down for a well-deserved beer before relaxing and resting until dinner. Dinner will be a little late tonight, even though we have another early start tomorrow, but that’s all part of the Camino experience.

Tomorrow is our final stage to Fisterra, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m looking forward to spending the night at the lighthouse at the “End of the World.” Even better, we’ll be reunited with our friend Gina, who will join us for the walk to the lighthouse. It’s hard to believe we’re almost at the end of this incredible journey with Bob .    I will continue my Camino to Muxía, which is approximately 18 miles (29 kilometers) from Fisterra along the Camino route.
