      Day 43

      Tag 43 von Santiago nach Negreira

      June 13, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      So jetzt geht es Richtung Meer.
      Heute ist es ziemlich warm aber der Weg wieder ruhiger da nicht viele diese Etappe machen.
      Habe mir heute auch richtig Zeit genommen.
      Die Alberge heute ist etwas abgelegen im Wald hier gibt's jede Menge Tiere.
      Das finde ich zur Abwechslung mal richtig entspannend.
      Man kann einfach mal die Seele baumeln lassen.
      Morgen geht es erst um 7 Uhr loss, da das Tor erst um 7 Uhr aufgeschlossen wird.
      Nachts ist es abgeschlossen da hier viele Tiere einfach so rumlaufen.
      Ich denke Grazia währe hier genau richtig.      Read more

      Milladoiro

      April 29 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      An 18km uphill trek today, surprisingly perfect conditions, we removed layers as we went. From Padrón we started in brisk sunny air along a river, took a coffee break at 4km then went through back village lanes, almost alleys, but a real insight into the local ways with vines and gardens mixed in with houses and small enterprises. Achieved our 2nd daily stamp at a Marian shrine, then it was into climbing hills through various villages, forests, chooks, goats and home produce gardens. A steep final 4 km with a welcome lunch at Milladoiro. Found our very snazzy 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment just off the Caminho, which made the arduous check-in worthwhile. Now for an ale waiting for a restaurant to open at 8.30. On to Santiago tomorrow, ponchos at the ready.Read more

      O Milladoiro!

      July 7, 2023 in Spain ⋅ 🌬 70 °F

      We have arrived at the Albergue Milladoiro, which is SO much better than last nights stay and only 6 euros more! We have decided to stop just short of Santiago De Compostela today. We are less than 3 miles away, which will be an easy walk tomorrow morning and we can beat the lines and crowds of pilgrims that arrive a bit later! As you can see the sun has come out once again! It’s supposed to rain tonight, but no need for ponchos, yet!Read more

      Iria Flavia to O Melladoiro

      July 6, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

      6:00 am, out the door after a vending machine coffee. Neither of us studied the route, we just started walking. It was a slow, constant, uphill slog for 6 hours! I was wiped out!

      Our pilgrim passport is full of stamps that remind us of churches, restaurants, and albergues along our way. Tomorrow when we arrive in Santiago we’ll get our final stamp at the cathedral (or tourist office?). I can’t believe we are nearly there.

      I had a lot of time to reflect today. I feel honored that my brother would do this journey with me. I feel blessed to have the wherewithal to be here. I have enjoyed getting to know new pilgrims. I have been challenged to think and talk about my faith. It has been a good trip.

      I napped this afternoon in a glorious, private bunk bed in a clean, expansive albergue. Sheets, pillow, towel, laundry. Helpful staff and pilgrims.I feel welcomed, respected, and cared for.

      Santiago, here we come!      Read more

      Day 10 - Iria Flavia to O Milladorio

      July 6, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

      Big to do tomorrow!

      The anticipation is killing me.

      Today was a good walk to essentially the door step of Santiago de Compostela. We had a great night sleep mainly because the hostelier returned to check on the Pilgrims and turned the AC on. He noticed I had opened all the doors and windows to get some air and had mercy on us. We got up at 5am to leave at 6am. We packed our backpacks and had a cafe con leche at the albergue. We bandaged our toes and feet and started walking to O Milladorio.

      We decided to not go all the way because we would not have arrived at Santiago until possibly late in the afternoon, tired and hungry. That’s not how we want to arrive. So, we stopped here only a short 7-8 km tomorrow morning in order to arrive between 8 and 9 am. That’s before most Pilgrims. We easily saw 100 or more pilgrims on the Camino, the vast majority of who were going all the way today. Mostly from Padron. It took every ounce of patience I have to not join them.

      Overall, it was a pleasant walk. The last part was pretty much uphill all the way. We got a few pics, but mostly talked about tomorrow and what we would do and see, what Pilgrim friends we would run into etc., etc. The excitement kept us going in spite of the hills trying to drain our energy.

      So, we are here now in O Milladorio. We are staying in another very nice albergue. Less than $20. We had some beers and good food (pizza!) and great conversation.

      I even had the opportunity to sign in on zoom for my Wednesday morning Bible study. I received some final prayers before my afternoon nap.

      Tomorrow will we arrive in Santiago. In my mind the trumpets will be blaring and there will be great rejoicing by all the people. Since Jesus arrived on a donkey, I think that’s a little too much to ask. But the joy will know no bounds.

      For now good night and God Bless!

      BUEN CAMINO!!

      Day 14

      Nearly there

      July 17, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      Started the day early thanks to Mr Snoreandwhistle and Mrs Flashlight; I have had better nights' sleep. Anyway, it gave me a good, if a little chilly start. First half of the 15km walk definitely more up than down.
      Some lovely small villages with narrow cobbled streets, wooded lanes and then the approach to the city. The walk through the suburbs is quite long, but into the old part and it's much more interesting. Many narrow streets dwarfed by the grand architecture of the cathedral and it's surrounds.
      Arrived in time for the Pilgrim Mass, so went out of curiosity, having had to make a mad dash to the left luggage office as backpacks weren't allowed in. Knee giving me gip so eventually found a seat at the back. Such a ornate cathedral and huge. The service concluded with the swinging of the botafumeiro, which was quite impressive.
      Next a visit to the Pilgrim Office to collect the compostela and then a light lunch.
      Somehow added another 7km finding accommodation; I'm staying in the Monastery overlooking much of the town and can just see the spires of the cathedral.
      Tomorrow should be a rest day. Finistère will have to wait for another camino.      Read more

      Day 28 Santiago de Compostela

      May 23, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F

      We did it! 411 miles from Lisbon to Santiago. We finished today with a little over 14 hilly miles some in the forest, some on country roads, a little through the city coming into Santiago. We walked with Bryanne the entire way. She has done 4 Caminos (some partial) but has never walked into Santiago with someone, so today we were a Camino family, walking in together. Along the way we passed a lot of people we have seen over and over. It was fun to see many of them walking into the plaza, also accomplishing their goal. One man, Marco, is from Brazil and had walked across Spain to get here. He has been walking for 70 days! And a German couple has walked 10 days with their 7 month old and a 4 year old. Mom carried the baby and dad pushed a stroller. Talk about not letting your kids slow you down! We did miss seeing out Australian friend, Alek today.

      The Cathedral of Santiago is beautiful. They hold a pilgrims mass in English at 12:00 and it is packed. We weren't here in time but we were able to visit the Cathedral later.

      It is kind of surreal. Yesterday I (Eileen) was ready to be done and today I don't want it to be over. We have met so many wonderful people and had so many great experiences. We are very, very grateful!!

      From here we will be touring in Spain -- Madrid, Seville, and Barcelona. We will post pictures from each place, but not on a daily basis. Thanks for following!      Read more

      Santiago > Da Pena

      November 4, 2023 in Spain

      Definitely took some motivation to get the shoes back on but couldn't turn down the final challenge of reaching the coast!!! Said goodbye to the trail fam which was v sad and walked with James up to 20K before saying bye to him too :( Having that said, grateful to have some quieter walking days to wind down and reflect (and still get battered with rain 🤪) A lot of the trails have turned to mini rivers and there's blown down trees everywhere ahaha. 30K in the bag and felt pretty chill - amazing how the body and mind get accustomed to distance!Read more
