      Lugo > Ferreira

      29 April, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

      Cold and missstty start along a never-ending road plus encountering big old dead wild boar slap bang in the middle of the path. But then diverged into some glorious mossy forests and the sun made an expected appearance woo!! Albergue had sun loungers and not a whole lot else around so you can guess how the afternoon was spentBaca lagi

      Day 24 Fonsagrada to O Cadavo 497.7km

      16 Oktober 2023, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

      Left after breakfast of Japanese noodles. Very easy to find the way except at one point when a man walking his two retrievers stopped to direct me.

      Beautiful sunrise. It threatened rain but only sprinkled.

      Basically the Primitivo is climbing up a mountain and then back down over and over again😉

      Feeling a bit tired. "Delayed Onset Fatigue" for sure.

      Lugo

      19 Mei, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Day 32
      Rain. Even the town sculpture in Castroverde suggests that it rains a lot here and that we need to support each other when everything is grey.

      I felt very weary today, and emotional. The old chestnut tree was one of the loveliest encounters this morning. When the churches are all locked, as if we are disapproved of, as if to fend us off, the natural beauty feels all the more sweetly welcoming and wonderful. A tree like this might predate any of these buildings; it might have seen more comings and goings, might have witnessed a huge variety and number of human, animal and plant life-events never usually taken indoors! I still knock on every locked church door, a symbolic act of request and protest: this Camino is for at least some of us - for me, yes, for me - intended to be a spiritual pilgrimage experience: we pilgrims should be able to enter designated religious buildings to pray along the way, or what's the reason for their existence? It seems to me that if I can't do that, then I am better off not wasting my time approaching the church buildings (I passed perhaps 6 locked chapels today, and knocked at each one) but letting nature communicate the presence and strength, the faithfulness and peace that I seek. After all, nature was there proclaiming everything good long before humans created philosophies and structures intended to contain and direct our behaviour.

      Still finding new flowers I haven't spotted before, but it takes an eagle eye to spy anything new among the greens and colours of the wayside. Or to notice that this little flower head, whilst being very similar to whatever-it-was the other day, is actually probably a different plant or even species. Spotted rockrose, southern camomile, sweet spurge.

      I am enjoying the Galician stone and slate cottages; I could almost be in the Cotswolds! It's a gentle grey, comfortable, homely. The landscape has reduced from mountains and heathland to hills and fields, and again feels familiar from home.

      Lugo, a walled city with a wealthy feel, obviously of historic significance (but I'm not going to explore what its story is, either in person or online) is grand, and the Cathedral grander yet. I met with Petra, the pilgrim I've most enjoyed catching up with again and again, and we ate lunch together, before finding a central hostel. Joined in a Pentecost mass. Although the cathedral art is impressive, I find much more pleasure in the quirky bits of decor than the grandiose, like this little cherubic guitar maker (Luca?).

      Lugo (nog 100 km!)

      6 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Vandaag 30 km gelopen van O Cádava naar Lugo. Het was een lange maar niet moeilijke wandeling, want het ging langzaam berg afwaarts.
      Lugo is een echte stad met Romeinse stadsmuren uit de 3e eeuw die op de Unesco lijst van werelderfgoed staan. Muren staan nog helemaal rondom de binnenstad (daar omheen is de stad nog veel groter) en je kunt er over heen lopen.

      Verder vind ik de stad niet heel bijzonder. Heel veel leegstand van hele mooie gebouwen die langzaam vervallen. Dit zien we in de meeste steden/dorpen waar we doorheen komen. Mensen zijn blijkbaar weggetrokken door gebrek aan werk en toekomst en er is geen geld om de boel te onderhouden.

      Vanmiddag samen met Reetta geluncht in een weide onder een boom in de schaduw. Heerlijk om even een lange break te hebben 's middags. Het diner hebben we genoten in een vegan restaurant.

      We hebben overnacht in Xunta de Galicia Pilgrims Hostal. Ook wel bekend als de Municipal, wat wil zeggen dat het gerund wordt door de lokale overheid. We verblijven al een paar dagen in die soort albergues.

      Vanaf Lugo is het nog 100 km naar Santiago! Dat betekent dat we minstens twee stempels per dag moeten hebben vandaag nu.

      Day 25 O Cadavo to Lugo 529.7 km

      17 Oktober 2023, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

      This was a very long stage but very scenic.

      There was only one bar to get food and drinks so it was a challenge mentally as well as physically.

      The weather was pretty good. It did not rain. It was 17 C so very warm. There were huge wind gusts that came out of nowhere it seems.

      Lugo is the Capital and very beautiful. The Cathedral is magnificent. But I only took a picture as it was pouring rain. There is a medieval wall built around a section of the city centre.

      Lugo ruft - ich raffe mich auf.

      28 Mei, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      Kein Footprint gestern. Er fiel meiner Bronchitis zum Opfer. Ein Tag ohne Aktivität. Nichts. Die einzige bemerkenswerte Aktion war der 100 m lange Weg zu den sanitären Anlagen. Sonst? Nichts, außer einen Ingwer-Orangen-Tee nach dem anderen aufzubrühen. Der kalte Wind machte es mir auch einfach.
      Heute Morgen Aufbruch. Lugo ruft mich. Ein kleiner Zwischenstopp in einem Carrefour. Was mich dort wunderte: die Ecke für Butter kaum aufzufinden. Drei Varianten im Angebot: eine mit Salz, eine Fettreduzierte und eine von mir Gewünschte. Ähnlich bei der Frischmilch: eine einzige Variante im Angebot, dafür meterlange Regale für H-Milch.
      Dann auf den Asphalt: was mir dort auffiel. Jedes Rinnsal, jeder Bach, jeder Fluß heißt in Spanien Rio.
      Außerdem massenhaft Pilger. Alleinlaufende, in Pärchen aneinandergeheftete oder ganze Wandergruppen, die anscheinend irgendwo ein Bus ausgespuckt hat. Freilaufend waren sie alle.

      Erster Stopp: Palas de Rei. Im Straßenatlas gelb gekennzeichnet. Und dieser Name: "Palast der Könige".
      Da muss ein Stopp sein. Und was war: nichts. Ein völlig unspektakulärer Ort. Das konnte nicht sein. Alle Reiseführer durchwühlt und siehe da, es muss eine romanische Kirche und eine mittelalterliche Festung geben. Google aktiviert und wissend. Allerdings jeweils ca. 8 km vom Ort entfernt.
      Erste Station das Castillo de Pambre. Eine stolze Festung aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Eine der letzten gut erhaltenen Feudalburgen Galiziens. Weniger schön: die ansässigen Hunde. Erst kam ein Kalb, dann das zweite und noch ein drittes hinterher. Keiner bellte. Kam mit der Satz im den Sinn "Hunde die bellen beißen nicht. Und die nicht bellen...? Ich kam ohne Blessuren davon aber mulmig war mir schon. Jeder Einzelne von denen hätte mich zerlegt.
      Weiterfahrt zur dreischiffigen romanischen Kirche San Salvador Vilar de Donas. Einst unterstanden sie dem einflussreichen Orden der Santiago-Ritter, die den Jakobsweg absicherten. Ein unglaubliches Bauwerk und nicht umsonst eine der wichtigsten romanischen Kirchen Galiziens. Natürlich verschlossen.
      Kurze Fahrt noch nach Lugo, kleine Irrfahrt durch die Stadt weil mein Navi mich partout über Fußgängerbrücken, durch einen Schulhof und auf einen Hospitalsparkplatz leiten wollte. Meine Copilotin fehlt eben an allen Ecken und Enden. Morgen steht die Altstadt von Lugo an. Und soviel sei verraten, die älteste Stadt Galiziens hat irre viel zu bieten. Also dranbleiben...

      Detour

      23 Oktober 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      Pick the authentic Camino messenger?

      You meet a doctor who listens to your injuries and pains and says " That shouldn't cause permanent damage. You can probably push through that. Disclaimer - I'm not a foot specialist."

      You get the following text from one of your Camino family. "I've found a bus that stops 4km from O'Cebriero. My host in Villafranca says there's a bus along the whole Camino after O'Cebriero so no more expensive taxis"

      Within the same hour you get the following text from another one of your Camino family
      "I’m half way through to O’Cerebro. It's brutal. If you could bypass this mountain, I highly recommend you take the bus. The weather is for ducks."

      A black cat in a Templar Knight's hovel insists you stay an extra day and that it is unsafe to go near any mountains.

      Clouds float past in the shape of a resort in San Sebastian with free foot massages and a swim up bar. A Templar Knights awaits to transport you through a portal back to summer.

      Ok the first three were authentic, the last two may be the result of the margarita I had with dinner.

      The Next Morning...

      I caught another bus, this time to Lugo which is not on the Camino Frances.. I have made it to Galacia, the last province on the Camino. It is beautiful here apart from and because of the endless rain. Autumn is in full swing and everything is green and gold and red. Rain is forecast every day for the next two weeks. The buses passed by beautiful mountains covered in beech forests but seen through the sideways rain squalls I was happy to be on the inside.

      I have skipped ahead again. My Camino journey is morphing naturally into just Nic's journey. I am keen to explore the beauty of Galacia more so than the trails of the Camino. I am keen to experience the Spainish culture more so than the pilgrimage culture. I feel my days on the Camino are coming to an end but that I am finding the freedom to explore without any preset expectation except those core goals which have always been just to move, to go slow and simple, to continue learning and to live in the moment.

      I sit in a bar in Spain, where drinking alcohol seems a prerequisite to being fed, waiting for my accommodation to open. After siesta there is more than 2km of original Roman wall, still completely intact, in which to circle the old city and stroll away the afternoon. If this is not the definition of slow and timeless, I am lost.

      Tomorrow I am meeting a friend at the beginning of the last stage of the Camino Frances. I may then walk a couple of days in the rain to experience the villages of Galacia. Who knows, maybe the sun will shine for a while.

      På værksted.

      30 Ogos 2023, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Da jeg skulle finde vores spot i dag, endte jeg voldsomt langt oppe i bjergene, på ret små veje. Det var 12 grader udenfor, så jeg ville sætte varme på. Men aircondition fortsatte med at køle, ser ud til den er stået af. Så nu sidder vi hos Mercedes i Lugo, det er spændende og sjovt, ingen kan et ord andet end på spansk. Men ved hjælp af fakter og SayHi er det lykkedes os at få hjælp😂. Til gengæld har jeg aldrig oplevet så omhyggelig indpakning af bilen, inden de kørte den ind på værksted. Selv rattet blev pakket ind i folie🇪🇸. Nu må vi se hvad dagen bringer, vi er egentlig ligeglade, da vi tager en dag af gangen.Baca lagi
