  • Day 39 - Palas de Rei to Ribadiso

    21 de setembro de 2024, Espanha ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    We planned for a wet day but lucked out and had only a little bit of rain that caused us to break out the ponchos.

    The walk today was through woods and farmland, which are mainly pastures and corn. From what I can tell, most of the corn is going to silage. They have a wicked looking harvester that chops the corn into trailers.

    We hadn't seen anyone that we knew until today where we ran into Patty and her family, it was good to see them. We found ourselves being sucked into the fast paced walk, and weren't enjoying this new camino vibe today. We had to slow ourselves down to enjoy our last few days before Santiago.

    I'm still fascinated with the Horreos and take too many pics of them according to Teresa.
    Met a few new folks today, Elaine from Ireland, John from Davidson, NC USA and Mina from South Korea.

    We also tried Pulpo (octopus) today in Melide, a city known for the dish. It was actually pretty good, not the prettiest of dishes, though.

  • Day 40 - Ribadiso to O Pedrouzo

    22 de setembro de 2024, Espanha ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

    Today was interesting as we found ourselves in crowds of other pilgrims. As we were warned, the camino vibe has changed during the last few days. The bright spot of the day was this cutest little girl, maybe 4 years old, in a costume with fairy wings, waving and saying Hola to us as we walked by...again the camino magic.

    As we near Santiago, we've been trying to wrap our heads around the end is near. We're sad to end this walk but happy to start our next adventure, vacation. We hope to see some of the camino friends in Santiago over the next few days. We were going to walk to the coast but have changed our minds due to the weather.

    Tomorrow, we'll walk into Santiago about 500 miles from where we started.

  • Day 41 - O Pedrouzo to Santiago

    23 de setembro de 2024, Espanha ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Sorry we didn't post yesterday. Yahoo, we did make it to Santiago yesterday afternoon around 2pm.

    We took our time to enjoy the last day of walking the camino. We reflected on our trip and what happens after we're done walking.

    The day was better than the day before. People were more friendly, happy, and overall excited to reach this destination. It was a little emotional to walk into the square together and see the cathedral with many other pilgrims.

    We found some camino friends who gave hugs and took pictures as we all arrived. It was a great day. We met up with one of our Australian friends for a celebratory bottle of Cava and lunch. While there, we had several other camino friends sit down with us.

    We shared stories and laughs because we separated a couple of weeks ago on the walk. We then had dinner together, laughed more, took more pictures, and then said our final goodbyes. Everyone is off to head home or go somewhere else.

    Today, we met our friend Denise as she walked unto the square, gave her hugs, and planned to see her tonight for dinner. We also attended the mass today and were able to see the bufamera swing, it was amazing.

    This was an awesome experience and sharing it with Teresa just makes it all better. Now, we're officially on vacation and will post our pictures and stories for this part but not as regular as we did on the camino.

    Oh, and was nice to sleep in until 8 today...🤣
