Liencres to Santillana del Mar

Today was about the same distance as yesterday - approximately 27.5 km, but the there was more road walking which I can walk faster on than a stony trail and fewer photo opportunities, though thereもっと詳しく
Albergue El Convento

This albergue in Santillana del Mar is fantastic. Most of the rooms have only one bunk bed. I'm in a room with a bunk bed occupied by two French women and my single bed. I asked for a lower bed andもっと詳しく
Santillana del Mar to Comillas

I walked from one tourist town to another today, though Comillas is nowhere near as touristy as Santillana del Mar. It does have a house designed by Gaudí that is very interesting.
I had beenもっと詳しく
Comillas to San Vicente de la Barquera

My decision to "wing it" paid off. I ended up walking a short distance of about 12 km and having a semi rest day. When I walked this route in 2018 I took note if San Vicente de la Barquera, notもっと詳しく
San Vicente de la Barquera to Pendueles

I was really hoping to stay at the donativo albergue Aves de Paso in Pendueles because I had read really good things about it and its owner, but I messaged her yesterday and she wrote back that theもっと詳しく
Pendueles to Naves

Today didn't start too great. It started by being woken up at 5 am by the alarm of the only other person in the room, despite the large sign asking people not to make noise before 7:30am. The alarmもっと詳しく
San Esteban de Leces to Lastres

I ended up not walking on the Camino today. I realized that if I did I wouldn't see much of the coast again because I will be heading inland to connect with the Camino Primitivo in a couple of days.もっと詳しく
A bit of Trompe l'oeil

Shortly after I began walking this morning I came across the house with some great trompe l'oeil paintings.
Lastres to Amandi - goodbye to the sea

After saying goodbye to the sea I walked about 45 minutes to rejoin the Camino in Colunga. It was already pretty warm and humid, and after stopping for breakfast I put my umbrella up to give me someもっと詳しく

Today it was goodbye to the Camino del Norte, as I am transitioning to the Camino Primitivo which starts in Oviedo where I will be tomorrow.

Pola de Siero to Oviedo

I'm a few days behind on posting, so this will just be mostly photos of Oviedo. The most memorable thing about this day's walk was that about halfway through it started pouring!
Oviedo to Grado

After leaving the city of Oviedo the Camino returned to rural roads and some shady trails. The most memorable thing about today's walk was all the new pilgrims on the trail who started in Oviedo.
Grado to Salas

Once again I'm behind on posting, so another mostly picture entry.
It was a bit hot and humid today, but fortunately there were some shady trails. I felt like I was the only guest at Hotel Soto,もっと詳しく
Salas to Tineo

A steady uphill climb most of the day on nice shady trails. It was a very nice approach to Tineo which is built on the side of a hill, and has great views. I suspect that Tineo was hit hard by Covidもっと詳しく
Tineo to Colinas de Arriba

Today was cloudy and mostly cool. It started out a bit foggy, so I missed any views that there were leaving Tineo.
Tomorrow is supposed to be the most difficult day of the Camino Primitivo.もっと詳しく
Colinas de Arriba to Berducedo

Today was one of the stand out days on the Camino Primitivo, as I took the Hospitales route which climbs into the mountains and features views in all directions. It's called the Hospitales routeもっと詳しく
Berducedo to Grandas de Salime

This started out as a pretty rainy day, but it only lasted a couple of hours.
We crossed into Galicia today, and now there are concrete markers with the distance to Santiago down to 3 decimal points.もっと詳しく
A Fonsagrada to O Cádavo

Fortunately no rain on the walk today, though it started out cool. Today's walk was through green valleys which meant several ascents and descents, including one particularly steep part. The ridgesもっと詳しく
Im really behind on posting...

I'm several days behind and may not post until I get to Santiago on Monday.
Santiago de Compostela

Just a quick post to say that I arrived in Santiago with three others who I've been walking with for the last two weeks.
Rooftop Cathedral Tour

I went on a rooftop tour of the Cathedral. The height didn't bother me, but the wind was a bit unnerving.
