      Day 12

      Day 28 Melide to Salcema 604 km

      October 20, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      I must apologize as I did complete the Primitivo however I am continuing to walk. I am not completely finished walking yet. I am now on the Camino Francis route to Santiago 27 km away but I am doing it in 2 days as I have had some rather hard days.

      Pouring with rain this morning so there are not many pictures.

      It did stop off and on and gradually improved towards the afternoon.

      I can't believe how many bars are on this section
      There are so many more pilgrims. The atmosphere is different. Some people don't even say "Hola" when you great them🤔

      The landscape is so flat now. I walked by an active logging site:
      Falling, removing branches, decking and loading. Unsure of the type of trees as it was dark.
      Very interesting.

      Beautiful scents from the eucalyptus trees.

      I saw my first pilgrim with a dog walking. It barked excessively at me..... The owner said it was a lovely rescue dog that sometimes does that to people🧐 It was part blue heeler so no surprise.

      I am staying at an Albergue that I stayed at last year. It is close to the restaurant with the excellent food. I met Stacey from Maine and Denise from the Hamburg area, and we went out for a fantastic dinner. Fresh scallops and the best salad with goat cheese I have had in Spain yet👏🥳 Delicious!!

      2 more sleeps until Santiago. It will be so fun as Denise, Stacey and I will see Mass together on Sunday. The botafumeira will be used.      Read more

      Day 12

      Seventh day

      April 18 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      Hola it’s Eloise

      Today we walked 10 Oman’s it was very cold in the morning.

      We saw lots of beautiful plants and a cool painting of a dog 🐶.

      Today’s Spanish word of the day is Bonito (bon-ee-toe) which means pretty just like the flowers we saw were Bonito.

      Hope you have a good day

      From Eloise

      P.S
      The orange juice here is AMAZING!      Read more

      Day 39

      Arzúa to O Pedrouzo

      June 11, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      Weather was good today, quite hot so I enjoyed the shaded paths I walked on. Met Nicki, Jacky, Puk, Ying, Lee and Duncan. Also had a blether with a couple of young lads from Greenock who overheard my accent.
      Stopped at a great place for lunch and had Caldo Gallego, Croquettes and Zorza. Arrived in O Pedrouzo and everything was shut as it is the Sabbath. Absolutely shiting it for finishing tomorrow.      Read more

      Day 57

      Vilamaior (18.6km / 758km)

      June 8, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      We were prepared for rain but it was a sunny morning for our last longish day of walking. Tomorrow is more about the finish than the walk.
      We continued through forests, mostly in the shade but there was one last long hill to climb to remind us we were not done yet. In places there were pools of water and very muddy tracks after several days of afternoon and night storms.
      We walk around the airport and watched a plane coming into land just above us before enjoying our last lunch! Hard to believe …
      It really isn’t anywhere near as crowded walking as we thought it might be. We have been avoiding the popular stage start / end points which has helped. We have heard that there are more than a thousand pilgrims arriving every day into Santiago and then hang around for a few days. We are looking forward to catching up with a few of them.
      We are however noticing a significant jump in the prices of everything as we near the end. Lunches or light meals that were costing 6 or 7 euro are now over 10 and we used to be able to get a piece of cake for 1 or 2 euro and that can now be over 4! A good way to cut down in the eating when the walking is done.
      The 5 of us have been walking together now for a week which has been nice and very different to walking independently and we shared our last dinner on the walk in our Albergue, Casa de Amancio that was awesome! We shared some scallops to start and ended with the most delicious desserts and a herbal liqueur. Louise was kind enough to pay for us all.
      Off to bed now and ready for the last 9km tomorrow.      Read more

      Day 43

      Lavacolla from Tabernavella

      July 9, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F

      Relatively gentle day, our last 'full' walk of 24.5km.... which seems remarkably easy compared to how it felt 40-something days ago. The human body is remarkable for its adaptability. The human mind is remarkably adaptable as well, but I think that's another post.

      The views and forests continue to inspire smiles but not so much to inspire photos, it seems. I only took a few, but I promise: it was lovely.

      The weather was delightfully cool and breezy with scattered clouds: perfect for a quick stroll. We had fun.

      Update on "we": somewhere along the way Bruce and I combined with Jaime, Klara, Jayne, and Angelique of UK, Germany, USA and The Netherlands. We had some stalkers from Texas for a while but they noped out yesterday and leapt ahead to Santiago to luxuriate in an AirBnB instead of our humble albergue tonight. Can't blame 'em. We hope to share some cheer tomorrow.

      Highlight of today was stopping in the woods to listen to a beautiful voice echoing through the valley. A lone man was walking along the road- possibly a Pilgrim, maybe not- and singing opera at full volume. I was tickled by how impressive his vocal power is, and accompanied by birdsong and morning light filtering through the trees it was a moving experience for me.

      We also enjoyed two solid breakfasts, some pretty doors, amazing flowers, plenty of laughs, and meeting a few other pilgrims now that various Camino routes have converged.

      It has been a good day.      Read more

      Day 13

      Salcede

      October 14, 2019 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 10 °C

      Regen regen regen,

      Kijk normaal gezien vind ik het niet zo erg om wat te stappen in de regen maar dit was abnormaal. Zoals eerder gezegt zeiden onze poncho's na 2 minuten regenval: "dees is niet onze job". Dus ja we wist al dees gaat pijnlijk worden. We hadden namelijk de dag ervoor gezien dat het vandaag de hele dag zou regenen (hoera!). Na 30 minuten zijn ook onze broeken al: als de poncho zijn werk niet doet, ik ook niet! Dus ja niet het meest plezantje gevoel. We hebben dan maar 35 kilometer zitten snelstappen om eindelijk in onze albergue te zitten.

      Ik heb wel geen fotos getrokken aangezien mijn gsm het ook al opgaf. Ik ga jullie dus niet kunnen verwennen met enkele prachtige plaatsjes. Maar niet getreurd, als je hetzelfde zicht als hier wilt zien dan dien je gewoon naar buiten te kijken. Regent het? Wel dan is dat hetzelfde zicht.

      Sorry voor het lak aan creativiteit maar ik vermoed dat die er nu 'afdropen' is. Hehe goede mop e.

      Ok ok ik zal mezelf wel naar buiten leiden! Doetjes en tot morgen!      Read more

      Day 14

      From Melide to Azura!!

      June 14, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Ahhh was yesterday a dream! We started heading to Azura from Melide. Walking through the forest. It was absolutely beautiful. Per usual, we got Betsy up and ready for the day then took a taxi into the forest where we will be walking. It was breathtaking. Betsy held up. Even though it was pretty hot, we’ve been keeping her plenty hydrated and she’s been doing great!! We got our stamps and kept going. We took a short break once we got to Azura and had some lunch, took a taxi to Hotel Azura and decided to finish for the day. We then met up with Mark, Joanne, Clayton, and Amy for some dinner. We some paella and caramel crème cake. There was a restaurant down the street from our hotel which worked out perfectly 👌🏾 it was a great day indeed!!Read more

      33. Etappe: Boimorto - A Salceda

      June 7, 2023 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 20 °C

      Heute begann der Tag leider im Regen... Und so blieb es auch, bis ich in der heutigen Albergue angekommen bin. Das Treffen in Arzua auf den Camino Frances war ein absoluter Schock. Ich wusste, dass dort viel los ist, aber es mit eigenen Augen zu sehen, war dann doch nochmal etwas anderes. Menschen über Menschen und viele von ihnen mit Mini-Rucksäcken. Denen geht es tatsächlich nur darum, 100 km zu gehen und dies zu feiern und sich dann die Urkunde abzuholen. Ich bin heilfroh, den anderen Weg gewählt zu haben. Für die letzten 40 km bis Santiago ist es aber okay. Vielleicht eine gute Vorbereitung auf das, was mich morgen in Santiago erwartet. Ich bin jedenfalls schon sehr gespannt und freue mich auf die letzte Etappe.Read more

      July 31, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Da bin ich kurz wieder und aktuell auf der Zielgeraden. Es ist einfach immer noch unglaublich. Ich bin aktuell bis jetzt 811 Km gelaufen krass oder.
      Heute gab es noch eine Besonderheit, denn mit erreichen der Stadt Arzúa ist die Ruhe des Camino del Northe weg, denn dort laufen die anderen Caminos dazu. Das heißt die letzten Kilometer laufen alle zusammen. Das ist echt ne Umstellung weil es ab hier viel Touristischer wird. Das dreifache an Pilger und an jeder Ecke ne Bar oder Cafeteria. Selbst in den fast ausgestorbenen Dörfern .
      Aber auch das gehört dazu. Es fängt auch langsam an zu kribbeln denn Santiago zieht echt      Read more
