Day 1: Vigo to Redondela

Made it through Day 1 of walking! The rain was utterly relentless today.. but we were prepared .. a visit to Decathlon yesterday meant we had ponchos to make our day very much protected from the rain, and we were so thankful for them!

It turns out rain in Spain doesn’t always fall on the plain!

The walk itself was fabulous, a real mix of town, road and wilderness - always something to look at!

We covered around 20k total distance through woods and up some very steep hills, but the kilometres and miles just fell away.

An amazingly well timed coffee stop saved any ‘wildflower surveys’ and served some well needed empanadas!Read more
