Leaving Portomarin at the crack of dawn (7:50!)

Many more pilgrims on the trail in this home stretch

We've passed many of these and just learned they are horreos, where grain is stored

Our cute little room at Pension As Hortas

Debra (next to me) is planning a celebration for our camino posse in Santiago Oct. 15

Oct 12–13, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F

Quick update: Left at crack of dawn (7:50 am here) and wended our way through a steady stream of walkers heading out of town. The vibe is different with so many more people on the path, almost like we're in a walk-a-thon. And because nothing can top the scenery we've already passed, and because my phone is being finicky, I didn't take many pics.

We were happy to catch up with our friends for a great lunch/dinner, and excited that a party of sorts is shaping up for Oct. 15.

Tomorrow is a long day (18 miles), and the first in a long time with rain in the forecast. We will also be back in the 60s -- a welcome change!Read more
