Portomarin

Day 38 Portomarin
Distance from Sarria to Portomarin 25kms

We left Sarria this morning along with many other pilgrims most of whom were starting their 1st day of walking. They walked with fresh legs clean shoes and an eagerness to complete their first day. Walking today took us through woodland and along gravel tracks . Although the paths were busy with the influx of new pilgrims it was a welcome change and at times there were few. We passed through small hamlets spotting a white turkey with a blue face he refused to pose for a photo. A momentous moment as we approached the 100km marker it seemed surreal that we had walked so far.
Portomarin is a lively town (overlooking a reservoir) buzzing with pilgrims overflowing restaurants and cafes food markets and gelato shops (my favourite) we love this town!
Another fabulous day meeting new pilgrims from New Zealand and other parts of the world and although the temperature was a cool 17c it was pleasant to walk in and we had another great day on the Camino.
