Portomarin is all my deepest Camino fears and dislikes come alive. I am sleeping in a room with 129 other pilgrims, 95 percent of which started this morning in Sarria and are celebrating their timeЧитать далее

While Palas has some industry to its name, the majority of its current wealth stems from pilgrims. There's very little more to say, it's a thoroughly boring, pilgrim conveyor belt town.
The probablyЧитать далее

Run by an American woman from Seattle, this is the kind of oasis I enjoyed in 2017 and have missed on this one.

I seriously doubted we'd see any of it this year. But here it is: rain on one of the more exhausting days on the Camino. No peaks to climb, no deserts to cross, just staccato hill walking, 300 up, 300Читать далее

It feels totally weird to have less than 40 kilometers to Santiago. I am so used to the triple digit way signs with impossible serving distances.
But here we are.
ПутешественникThe closer you get, the more sad I get. I've really enjoyed watching this journey

The less I say about this town, the better. Tourigrinos (tourists cosplaying as pilgrims) and greed rule the one street everything happens on, food is expensive, portions are small, and quality isЧитать далее

There is a simple but sad truth about the Camino Frances. Commerce and pilgrimage always live hand in hand, but their proportions change.
True, the bars and cafes, albergues and supermarketsЧитать далее

My pilgrimage isn’t over, but this is a major stop along the way. Arrived this morning in Santiago, had coffee, pushed my way past tourists, and had another coffee, for good measure.

Right after Santiago the Camino calmed down again. Prices tumbled and tonight I am sleeping in an amazing albergue with bar and garden for 15€. They even have USB outlets in the cots. Yay!!

Early on I’d made the decision to take it slow for the final walks to the ocean.
Remember that one time you were on an amazing date and dragged out the good byes because it was so good? That’sЧитать далее
