Day 2: Cornellana to Casazorrina

Distance: 10km-ish (day total 20km / 12.5 miles)
Emotions: satisfied, tired and a little nervous

I’m now settled into my lovely albergue for the night, resting in a bright, peaceful room before dinner. I’ll definitely sleep well after today’s walk: 12.5 miles with an elevation gain of 2,500 feet. That said, I’m feeling a bit nervous about tomorrow’s hike (15 miles and 3,400 feet of elevation). I just need to pace myself and be kind to my joints.

But looking back to this afternoon, things slowed down beautifully after the excitement of the morning. The trail wound gently through quiet woodland, with sunlight filtering through the branches. Just as I started to fade, I stumbled upon a small river, perfect for soaking my feet and splashing some cold water on my face. It was exactly what I needed.

It’s been a wonderful first day, peaceful and grounding. I’ve already met some fellow pilgrims. Estrid, from Holland, who is heading back to Grado tomorrow to continue her trek.

Now off for some dinner! Buen Camino!Leer más
