      Von melide nach salceda

      June 10, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      Hola a todas, heute stand die vorletzte längere Etappe von melide nach salceda auf dem Plan, welche mit 25km schon eine der längeren war. Also ich muss sagen, dass mir Galicia landschaftlich und von der Vegetation am besten von alles Bundesstaaten Spaniens gefällt. Natürlich hatte jede Sektion ihren besonderen Reiz. Die Temperaturen waren heute ideal zum pilgern und wenn Stella mal aufblühte, konnte man meist im Schatten der Bäume auf traumhaften Waldwegen schlendern. Es fand sich immer eine Möglichkeit mal einen cafe con leche y un bocadilla von jabon y queso zu genießen. Ich stelle ausserdem immer wieder fest, wenn man dem Land und den Menschen respektvoll gegenüber tritt, wird das freudig erwidert. Morgen geht es dann auf die vorletzte Etappe zum Monte do Gozo und am Sonntag der Einlauf nach Santiago. Gänsehautfeeling. Erkenntnis des Tages: Keine Ahnung 🤣🤣Read more

      Tag 40 von Melide nach Salceda

      June 10, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Heute war wieder ein sehr schöner und ruhiger Tag.
      Der Weg wahr wieder wunderschön es ging hauptsächlich durch Wälder und kleine Dörfer.
      Was die Landschaft angeht kann man nur sagen Wahnsinn.
      Es hatte schon angefangen mit einem außergewöhnlichen Sonnenaufgang.
      Ich selbst war heute so ruhig und gelassen genau das Gegenteil von gestern.
      Ich hoffe das es morgen so weitergeht.
      Jetzt ist die erste Etappe bis Santiago auch bald erreicht 💪.
      Mir selbst geht es richtig gut.
      Natürlich merkt man die Kilometer in den Beinen aber so wollte ich es ja haben.      Read more

      Walking w a Friend to Amenal

      November 1, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

      We met Paul from Ontario last night in our hostel. Since it is the end of the Camino season we were the only people there last night. We enjoyed dinner together last night & walked most of today together. The walk seems so much shorter when you're talking with a friend. I didn't take many pics today. It was a beautiful sunny day in the low 60's perfect for walking. Many woodland paths & small villages with chickens, sheep & horses.

      Hard to believe tomorrow is the last leg of our Camino adventure!      Read more

      Boente to Salceda

      October 22, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      21km of mostly beautiful rural paths and an hour of rain.

      We planned for an early start to enable us to avoid possible rain patches with strategic coffee breaks. Down to the bar for 7:00am breakfast and found the place in darkness. We returned to our room to pack up and be on our way and found breakfast in full swing at 7:30 as we went down to leave.

      So refuelled we walked in darkness with a headlamp for 40 minutes until first light. For 8km the Camino followed a country path below overhanging trees up and down across several small river valleys until our coffee and cake stop in Arzúa.

      Arzúa also gave us access to an ATM to replenish cash and a farmacia for blister dressings and Vitamin I (ibuprofen). It would have been nice to check out the weekly street market but rain was predicted and we moved on.

      Leaving Arzúa through unpaved country lanes we encountered more of the eucalyptus groves we had seen yesterday. There are 400k hectares of Aussie eucalyptus forests in Galicia. Saw some fine old Stringy Barks.

      We stopped for a lunch of empanadas at Casa Do Hórreo in Ferreira just 3.5km short of our destination for the day. It started to rain and continued quite heavily for an hour so we stayed under cover for dessert and coffee. With no letup in the rain we donned our ponchos and walked on in the now easing rain and continued onto our accommodation.

      Now after dinner we are drying wet gear for tomorrow’s predicted downpour.      Read more

      12 miles.
      Started off dark and foggy again this morning. I kinda love it! There have been a lot of eucalyptus trees along the path in the last few days. Also, there are many of these grain or corn storage buildings.
      Tomorrow is supposed to rain. Hopefully not when we're walking.

      Last photo: When it's raining outside and your socks aren't dry yet...you have to improvise.      Read more

      Day 5 - Arzua to Salceda

      October 2, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      A very short walk today and in much cooler conditions 😄. Again, the Way was beautiful, with many tree lined pathways. We had a lovely foggy morning; always a nice way to start. My post yesterday failed to mention a Camino Angel story that happened to me; I was taking the first alternate/complementary path, which was very shady and, upon coming back into the sun, realised that I had dropped my hat! I was all for retracting my steps - no matter how far - to retrieve it as that hat came with me through the Via Francigena, and I've been walking with it for years! My walking companion (one of the ACU group) thought I was crazy and she, an Angel herself was all ready to wait for me, but I was determined! Low and behold, I'd only gone about 300m and walking up the hill where my Camino Angels, a Spanish couple with my hat in hand! I was so grateful and enthusiastic with my "muchas gracias'". Also, today, I briefly talked to an 80 year old woman from Boston who is walking the Camino solo. She's staying in our accommodation tonight, and I'm hoping to speak to her some more tonight. Finally, I will mention how strange it is to see gum leaves under foot as you are walking in a European country and then see the gum trees alongside the path!Read more

      The two girls in the photo with me, Elena and Yolanda, plus 2 others who were travelling alone, got together in the garden of a bar on the Camino.
      When they saw other pilgrims passing, they asked them to join for a drink.
      The group got bigger and bigger, there was singing and dancing, and everyone had a bit of fun.
      The group was already quite large when Jan and I arrived.
      Most were young Spaniards who started the walk in Sarria. This shows the different mindset of the 4-day walkers as opposed to most people who do a longer pilgrimage. One group is there to have fun, the other is searching for inner peace. This is obviously a gross generalisation, but you get the idea.
      The demographic of the Camino undoubtedly changed after Sarria, and albergues in many villages were full.
      For this reason, in the last 110k of the walk we had to book ahead. For the same reason, we completed this section a day earlier than originally expected- to avoid the hassle of ringing around to find a bed for an extra day.      Read more

      The plan

      August 23, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      So, what to do with 9 spare days?
      There's an obvious answer: continue walking to Finisterre and Muxía. These are official pilgrimage routes as well. If I keep walking at the current rate, I can even walk back to Santiago and complete 1,000 kms.
      That's my next challenge! 😀      Read more

      Przewedrowalismy dzisiaj około 20 km. Jest to ostatnia noc przed wejściem do Santiago. Dochodzimy do celu, ale czy do końca? Myślę, że koniec okazał się bardziej odległy niż się wydawało, ale za to emocje i przemyślenia będą nam towarzyszyć przez długi czas, aż wszystko się ułoży albo nie ułoży w głowie. Na razie nie ma szans aby to wszystko ogarnąć. Poza osobistym zaangażowaniem nie byłoby możliwe aby to dokonać, bez waszego wsparcia i miłości, którą czuliśmy każdego dnia.
      Dotarliśmy do miejsca gdzie od katedry dzieli nas tylko 9 km, także jutro powinniśmy dotrzeć na miejsce około południa.
      W ciągu dzisiejszego dnia dołączyły do nas na trochę Ewa i Julita( Sztokholm) z Polski, także nasza grupa troszkę się powiększyła. Nie było żadnego otwartego kościoła. Nie było też żadnego kamiennego krzyża, tak jakby wszystko już tylko czekało na wejście do Santiago, czyli tam gdzie jest punkt kulminacyjny.
      Pogoda traktuje nas od dłuższego czasu w sposób bardzo łaskawy ( AJ jest 5 raz na Camino Frances I po raz pierwszy w Galicji towarzyszy mu słońce), zapewniając ciepły dzień z lekkim wiaterkiem i cieniem z drzew rosnących wzdłuż drogi.
      To chyba tyle, na razie nie ma szans aby przelać wewnętrzne myśli i przemyślenia w słowa, to chyba przyjdzie później...      Read more

      October 12, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

      A beautiful walk through Eucalyptus forests. The smell was incredible. We met up with a lovely couple from Germany and we walked a good part of the day with them. We both find that the walk goes by so quickly when you have new people to talk to. We are staying at a nice little albergue where we met up with ladies from England, Brazil and Holland. We all ventured across the street for dinner where we were joined by others from Uruguay and Germany. The one guy from Germany started in Germany in July and has walked over 3000km. Makes us feel like we are just doing a stroll around the block.
      It’s exciting because Santiago is now in everyone’s reach. Some are planning on getting there tomorrow and others like us will get there Saturday. Some of our friends have arrived already and sending us pictures. So nice to see.
      Tomorrow looks like it will be a very rainy day so not looking forward to that. We have been very lucky with the weather so far.      Read more
