I walked into Santiago de Compostela from the airport. It was lovely. I expected rain but when I started to walk, the sun broke through. Poncho on and off about 4 times. Still raining but now I amЧитать далее

Castelo to Negreira
15 сентября 2022 г., Испания ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
The guidebook said a hill after the coffee break. It didn’t say that it went on forever! The only good parts: shade and mostly soft path. There was even some logging. After the hill, the walk wasЧитать далее

Negreira to A Peña
16 сентября 2022 г., Испания ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Just leaving Negreira there is a lovely detour on a dirt trail along the river. Very quiet and peaceful. The only problem was that I got lost 🧭. The trail was not well marked. At first it was okay,Читать далее
A Peña to Santa Mariña
16 сентября 2022 г., Испания ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

Camino Fisterre Day 3
17 сентября 2022 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

Santa Mariña to Lago
17 сентября 2022 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
We got a lesson in Spanish agriculture this morning. Not like combining back home. They have a single machine that cuts the corn, grinds it up, throws the works into the following truck and leavesЧитать далее
Lago to O Logoso
17 сентября 2022 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
More farming lessons: they put the corn harvest in pits, drive over it to flatten it, then put plastic over. Good cattle feed. Corn seems to be the primary crop in this area. Corn ➡️ cows ➡️Читать далее
O Logoso to Dumbria
17 сентября 2022 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
I stopped for lunch, the bocadillo con bacon y queso was great! I saw Patrick and Roseanne from Idaho once more, but they will be heading to Fisterre at the junction. A bit further on was the junctionЧитать далее

Dumbria to Senande

Yes, I did.
Senande to os Muiños
18 сентября 2022 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

Muxia
18 сентября 2022 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
What makes the area special and holy, you ask? Well, when St James was working to promote Christianity in the Iberian peninsula, he wasn’t doing very well, and was getting discouraged. The VirginЧитать далее
