    • Day 29

      Im Regen gestartet....

      January 6 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

      und mit Schnee geendet.

      Heute haben wir auf unserm Weg nach Portugal den dritten "reinen" Fahrtag hinter uns gebracht.

      Zwischenzeitlich sind wir 2100km näher an Portugal als vor drei Tagen 🤸🏼

      In Frankreich hat es noch wie aus Eimern geschüttet. In Spanien wurde das Wetter langsam besser.

      Nach einer Fahrt durch endlos erscheinende Agrarflächen in Spanien, sind wir der Grenze zu Portugal nicht mehr fern.

      Unser Stellplatz für die Nacht liegt heute auf 1200m. Es hat leicht geschneit und um uns herum sind Berge.

      Wir hoffen mal, dass uns der Schneefall nachts nicht überrascht.

      Die Wettervorhersage jedenfalls sagt uns eine kalte aber schneefreie Nacht voraus.

    • Day 45

      D41 to Vilavella

      April 4, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

      Yesterday may have been higher and longer but today was def harder. Down, up, down, but a lot of their trail was mud and flowing
      stream. Not a terribly long day, the next few are shorter, stayed in a hotel tonight but the rest of the week wanted to make sure I get in early to deal with any possible Semana Santa problemsRead more

    • Day 38

      Climbing mountains

      May 29, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Whew! Yesterday was misty, cold and rainy and I was very glad to reach the little hotel in Padornelo just before the water really started to bucket down! It must be one of the best feelings in the world to sit in a warm restaurant looking out through plate glass windows at the rain, knowing you have walked 24km and are done for the day. The hotel was heavily booked with construction workers from the high speed Ave works (train). It must be an economic boon for this area, albeit temporary.

      From Padornelo I set forth this morning not really prepared for the strenuous ups and downs along the mountain path. Up, down, then up, up it seemed to go. Real scrambling in places and twice I lost my footing in mud and heavily decorated myself with Mother Earth. No damage to anything except my dignity.

      Some beautiful scenery, and the sound of water in streams beside the path, and waterfalls. Wading through water at times - when there is a rocky bottom it’s fine - it’s only mud I dislike!

      So eventually I made it to the pass at altitude 1,260 metres, and into Galicia. Then a few more kilometres to my accommodation, a little hotel in Vilavella.

      I think today was only about 20km. But steep. I am looking forward to dinner.
