      June 9

      10 de junio, España ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

      Today we are 27 km from our destination, so I have chosen to take the bus. I would walk part way but due to the isolated region we are in the bus service is limited and it's either walk the entire way, try and get a taxi (which would be expensive) or catch the bus. Our friendly host, Manuel, at our albergue kindly gave us a ride to the bus stop. This is our first attempt at catching the bus after our fiasco on the bus last week, so both Lorelee and myself were a little nervous about how it would go. I found it very interesting eavesdropping on the young couple behind us who were riding the bus because her ankle was in a lot of pain. They were trying so hard to justify their decision to bus rather than walk the remaining distance to Finisterre. It begged the question for me; why, as humans, are we so tough on ourselves and reluctant to practice kindness, especially to ourselves? Thankfully about an hour and a half after boarding the bus, we proudly disembarked in Cee. To our surprise, we wandered around the corner from the station into a large bustling outdoor market. We enjoyed exploring through the numerous stalls with a variety of items such as clothing, shoes, blankets, jewelry, food, and plants. I bought a pair of pants, a shirt, some traditional raisin bread, and cheese. Lorelee purchased a blanket and churros. We were thirsty after all our efforts at the market so we sat in the square at a cafe and sipped a tinto de verano while watching the world go by. A siesta followed by a short stroll to the laundromat and another tinto de verano in the square would complete our rest day.Leer más

      Olveiroa to Cee

      13 de junio de 2023, España ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Today was a good day. Walked with friends, we had a bit of sunshine, some rain. We stopped in a cafe for coffee, and later stopped at a picnic when a herd of cows followed a farmer and the dog (not a border collie....) and the wife through the picnic space. They seemed to have it all figured out, including the cows.

      We arrived in Cee which historically is a whaling town, and now it is a bustling seaside industrial and robust fishing centre. The first views of the sea were striking since I have nearly walked 900 km across the top of northern Spain from east to west, and the sight of water is striking. Yesterday, we saw a lake, and though we have seen a few rivers, by Canadian standards we might call them creeks, and today seeing that soon there will be no where left to walk was actually a bit alarming.

      Also noteworthy, this region is also famous for a werewolf. In the mid 15th century, in recorded documents, currently kept at a library in Paris, a group of 20 pilgrims were attacked and killed by a werewolf like creature. I have attached a picture of the creature. Kathy, Laurel and I did not encounter the werewolf on our travels, but a person is advised to not travel alone or at night.

      Well oddly enough, tomorrow is the end of the road...literally and figuratively for me. There is no where else to go, and since I can't walk on water, I will have to decide. And also finally after 900 km, my legs don't hurt, my feet are healed, my burn is nearly invisible, and my more recent spider bites appear to also be healing. Perhaps it is symbolic. All my physical challenges are healed, and so, therefore, all my spiritual and emotional challenges are also healed. I shall find out tomorrow when I reach "the end of the earth".

      Tag 52 von Fisterra nach Cee

      22 de junio de 2022, España ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Heute war es nur eine kurze Strecke von 14 km.
      Der Weg war wieder wunderschön was durch das gute Wetter und das Meer noch verstärkt wurde einfach umwerfend.
      Leider heißt es morgen Abschied nehmen vom Meer es geht zurück ins inland.
      Ja so langsam neigt sich mein Camino dem Ende zu was aber auch gut ist.
      Mir fehlt meine Familie schon sehr.
      Aber in einer Woche sehe ich sie wieder endlich!!!😃😃
      Auf der anderen Seite ist es aber auch schade das es nun doch so schnell ging.
      Ich kann es noch garnicht richtig begreifen das ich so weit gegangen bin.
      Es waren doch nur 15-30 km am Tag.

      Last leg to Finisterre

      28 de agosto de 2022, España ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Yesterday afternoon was so hot, I didn't want to get caught out again. So, this morning I started walking in the dark, on my own. I was the first one to leave the albergue.
      It was foggy, "I can see the air", I thought! I like the fog, it makes great pictures 🙂

      The landscape kept changing. There was a long stretch without any villages, and about halfway to the destination there was a town called Cee.
      After the first 7k or so, with some daylight already, I found a picnic area and stopped there for a self catered breakfast.
      Jan caught up with me about 4k before Cee. and we were keen to get there and go to a cafe.

      11 de junio, España ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      A much needed rest day. It felt luxurious to not have to pack up and start walking. I went to the restaurant in our hotel to have breakfast and tea and brought a coffee for Lorelee to enjoy in bed. Eventually we made our way out to wander around this seaside town. We enjoyed a coffee at a cafe on the water, strolled along the promenade, explored some of the narrow streets taking in the incredible architecture and had lunch in the square. We joined the locals during siesta time and had a nap. Mary, Kamla and Joyce arrived around 4:30. We had dinner at the same cafe in the square, I had a scrumptious salad. It was a perfect rest day.Leer más

      9 de junio, España ⋅ 🌬 15 °C

      My heart wasn't into walking when we set off, and the weather seemed to reflect my mood as it was a gray morning with a few light rain showers. However the sheer natural beauty that engaged all the senses quickly changed that feeling. We walked through enchanted forests, medieval towns and the countryside as the birds sang to us and helped cheer me along the way. Part of the route was very challenging with an extremely steep hill but the distractions of the bird song, the scent of eucalyptus and pine, and natural beauty as far as the eye could see helped mitigate the discomfort. I did stop and treated my throbbing feet to a soak in a cold crystal clear creek which helped propel me to Negreira. We took part in a communal dinner at our albergue that included traditional lentel soup, pasta, bread, wine and dessert. It was the perfect way to end our day that had engaged all the senses magnificently.Leer más

      After a good sleep in an extremely comfortable top bunk bed, I arose at 7:00 to prepare for our departure. The hostel provided a delicious breakfast with many options including cereal, yogurt, toast, pastries, orange juice, coffee, tea etc which we all enjoyed before packing up. With my bag packed and feeling ready for the day, I went to the shoe rack to get my shoes but they weren't there! There was a pair of Hokas that were similar, but a size smaller than mine. It only took me a few seconds to realize that the Camino much dreaded accidental shoe mishap was beginning my day. We had about 16 km to walk and I had no idea of the terrain we would be covering, but I had two options walk in my flip flop sandals or catch the bus. The sandals won and we set off. Thankfully most of our day was in woodland paths and paved streets. The oak, pine and eucalyptus woodlands were a welcome surprise for the senses because I was expecting more pavement and asphalt, as we were so close to the big city of Santiago. We arrived in Santiago around 1:00 pm after enjoying a lovely walk for most of the trek. We were also happy to see Paul along the way and have a chat with him. My feet were feeling the strain of walking without good shoes but it didn't take away from the experience of arriving and feeling so thankful to have had this opportunity. We met Kamla and Joyce in the evening for dinner. My meal was scrumptious - prawns in garlic 😋. The lady who inadvertently took my shoes did return them to me in the evening, so I will be able to walk in my Hokas tomorrow. I find it a strange feeling to arrive in Santiago knowing that I have to get up the next morning and continue walking.Leer más

      Bus ride to from Negreira to Cee

      9 de junio, España ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

      Helen and I successfully caught a bus to our next destination for a 2 day rest in Cee.

      Once in Cee we came upon their Sunday market which was amazing and we spent a good part of the day roaming through the market where they had everything from women’s clothing (including an underwear/bra booth) to shoes, blankets, and their beautiful bed pillows (which I would have loved to buy but don’t fit in my backpack).
      Helen bought an awesome outfit and I a blanket.
      Once we booked into our hotel room, we found it was awesome and the beds so comfortable.
      We did our laundry and had a few drinks and before you know it it was 10pm!
      It was a lovely day off.

      To Cee

      12 de mayo, España ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      This was originally going to be a short day. 15 km. Down to the coast. Not much elevation. But yesterday afternoon, after hearing Michael, Flavia, and the hospitalero go on about how beautiful the waterfalls at Ézaro were, I did some Wikiloc searching. I found tracks that would take me from right where I was, past the Piedra Cabalgada again, to Ézaro’s ocean overlook from up high, down to the Falls, and then over to my original destination, of Cee. It added 10 km and a couple hundred meters of elevation to my original plan, but it was well worth it.

      I have now earned the Triple Crown of waterfalls on my Camino this year. This one has the distinction of being the only waterfall in Europe (or maybe in the world, but that’s not been confirmed) that falls directly into the sea. I was glad to arrive midmorning, because the eight parking spots for buses were empty, and only a handful of cars were in the lot. I sat on a rock, ate some frutos secos, drank water, and just listened and watched as the water crashed down. Very peaceful.

      The route was a lot of forest track, kms on some untraveled roads, a couple of kilometers through some dense woods, and only a few on a wide shoulder of a fairly busy highway. I really enjoyed it. In one small village, the woman who was getting her cows ready to be milked told me a story of emigration that fits perfectly in the statue I saw yesterday. She is trying to keep the family dairy farm going, but she says it is very hard work without a man, though she has a brother who helps out when he can.

      I’m in a small hotel in Cee, a coastal town at the head of an inlet. Its restaurant was pretty highly rated so I didn’t waste time walking around and looking at menus. My first zamburiñas in a long time! After lunch, I went down to the beach and small harbor and then decided to continue along the water to the next village, Corcubión. Since it is Sunday, there were a lot of families out and about.

      The weather today was cloudy and cool. Perfect for walking. I’m hoping the forecast for a few days of rain is wrong, but oh well.

      Olveiroa - Cee (19,5km)

      25 de julio de 2023, España ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Raus aus der Stadt, rauf auf den Camino! Mit dem Bus flüchteten wir vom pulsierenden, reizüberflutenden Santiago nach Olveiroa und trafen einen Camino an, wie wir ihn von unseren Anfangstagen her kannten: beinahe menschenleer und deshalb so wunderschön.
      Auf geschotterten Höhenwegen liefen wir vorbei an Stausee und Windrädern, stärkten uns zwischendurch in einer abgelegenen Bar (O Casteliño, die einzige Bar auf fast 15 km!) und passierten einen wahrhaftigen Kraftort, die Capilla da Nosa Señora das Neves, mit einer von Pilgern errichteten Gedenkstätte.
      Und da war es endlich! Laut unserem Reiseführer noch berührender als der Anblick von Santiagos grandioser Kathedrale: das Meer! Wie eindrücklich diese Weite sein kann!
      Nach einem steilen Abstieg erreichten wir bald das kleine Küstenstädtchen Cee, wo wir heute in der schönen Pensión Beiramar nächtigen werden. Morgen bestreiten wir unsere allerletzte Etappe zum Kap Finisterre.
