      Fantastic Spanish fruit

      8 juni 2022, Spanje ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Popped into this little spanish grocery and broke about 3 rules immediately there was a guy hanging around outside the door with one young guy in the shop, calling out a list of fruit while the female assistant scurried around collecting for him including getting on a step ladder to catch a pineapple that was on a shelf 2.5m high. So I was thinking he was a lazy chauvinistic pig while I collected a few bits of fruit and then the assistant said something to me and I noticed gloves, mask, guy outside now with 3 other people lined up being in the street. Covid still a big deal.

      Well the apricots and the plums were worth the wait (amazing) the apple was inedible. Figs OMG.

      8 juni 2022, Spanje ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      well turns out they're is a big Roman festival here this weekend, they are already constructing the sets. The wall surrounding the main town is pretty amazing I can imagine it would feel pretty daunting to assail.Meer informatie

      Die letzten 100...

      22 mei 2018, Spanje ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Castroverde - Lugo 22km

      Morgens noch im Nebel gestartet, wurde es heute mittag richtig warm. Anfangs durch grüne Wälder, führte uns der Weg später auch über Teer und Schotterpisten. Gegen 3 hatten wir dann Lugo erreicht. Ab hier sind es noch 100km. Ab morgen kommen dann leider die "Tourigrinos" (Menschen, die nur die letzten 100 gehen, um die Compostela zu bekommen) hinzu.Meer informatie

      Lugo

      29 september 2022, Spanje ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

      Staying in a 3 bed apartment in the centre of the old town. With a washing machine so we’ve washed pretty much everything we own. We got up late then visited the incredibly ornate cathedral and walked around the city walls. It poured with rain so we stopped for a drink and were offered tapas. Feeling brave so ordered pigs ears. Probably won’t do that again!!This evening we met up again with April and her new friend Dutch Peter for dinner and an enormous bottle of wine.Meer informatie

      The long way to Friol

      22 september 2021, Spanje ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Since the Camino Primitivo joins up with the Frances in a few days, many pilgrims look for alternative routes to keep them off the Frances and its crowds while still getting them closer to Santiago. The Camiño Verde is one of those, end it goes over to Sobrado de los Monxes,, where it joins the Camino Del Norte.

      I have the GPS tracks, so what could go wrong, right? The first thing that happened was that I didn’t turn the track on and missed the turn off. So I found myself still on the Primitivo. That was actually quite all right, because I wanted to go to see a third century Roman crypt or bathhouse or sanitarium (no one knows exactly what it is), and it is accessible from either the Primitivo or the Verde. It was nice, because I walked with a couple of people I had met before.

      Santa Eulalia is an amazing site, with unrestored paintings of all different sorts of birds and floral motifs on the walls. Really wonderful.

      Taking my GPS tracks for the Camiño Verde, I followed them quite well till they took me off the road and into a grassy field where no real track was visible. To make things more interesting, a big German Shepherd started running towards me and barking. So I quickly backtracked and went out onto the road. Taking the road rather than this track would add about 6 km to the day, but I did not fancy encounters with dogs and overgrown tracks. As I started forward on the road, which Google Maps showed would take me into Friol, two more huge dogs started bounding towards me. I turned around and saw a shepherd, obviously the owner of the first dog, with his goats. I went up and asked him about how to best get to Friol, and he told me the path was not in very good condition. Lots of overgrowth, some sharp descents. I quickly made up my mind to do the roundabout road route. And luckily those other dogs belonged to an elderly couple out on a walk.

      I hadn’t exactly counted on 30 km of road walking, but I’m here and in good shape and really loved that Roman/pagan building.

      Lugo - San Frolain festival

      8 oktober 2016, Spanje ⋅ 🌙 9 °C

      Lugo certainly knows how to party! We had a great night wandering around the city. We're just waking up now and people are still out on the streets.

      We've a choice of routes today. Not sure yet what we'll do.Meer informatie

      100km

      3 juni 2022, Spanje ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Today we arrived in Lugo. We are now officially only 100km away from our destination Santiago de Compostela. It's a big milestone for us. Probably in 4 days we will arrive there. Much earlier than expected and anticipated. All is well, we love what we do. Most likely this won't be our last Camino.Meer informatie

      Day 71 & 72: Castroverde - Lugo

      24 oktober 2016, Spanje ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

      Distance: 22.5 (1768.3/99.8)
      Weather: 16C, some sun bit chilly!
      Mood: A but mixed
      Staying at: Lucus Hostal

      Today, I'm not a pilgrim but a tourist in the capital of Galcia, Lugo. I've become so good at being a pilgrim that I nearly forgot how lousy I am at being a solo tourist. I'm feeling a little lost and out of place amongst all these people who are just going about their day. I ask about a route variation in the camino interpretation centre, but am turned away as it's not the real camino and therefore not part of their scope...
      The students at the table next to me are quizzing each other on German words and grammar. It makes me smile. I just read an article on how repetition is far from the most effective way to learn, but this may not be the time to tell them.
      Feeling out of place here makes me question what is my place in this world and it makes me miss my loved ones. I'm a doer, a problem solver, not a quiet observer and I feel such a strong need to add some value to this world again.
      I stumble upon a fellow pilgrim asks me for help on deciding what to do the next days. I use the knowledge I gained on route variations, onward walks and busses from Santiago and I leave him satisfied with a number of alternatives to choose from. And I... am happy again cause I was able to add some value.
      The day ends with a reunion with another peregrina. We share food, a glass of red wine and stories about love, work, travel and life after the camino. We agree that the tougher days like today and at times being uneasy is good for reflection and learning. It's these days that make us grow.

      A short day into Lugo

      21 september 2021, Spanje ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      By 1:00 I was in my hotel and washing clothes. I will have all afternoon to enjoy this beautiful city. The walk was much nicer than I remember it, and I am assuming they have taken huge chunks off the road and put them on gorgeous little green tunnel paths.

      At about 12 km along the way, I came to a point where the arrows offered a choice to take on an extra kilometer and visit the church at Soutomerille. I had done that once before, long before there was any announcement of the option, and when I got there the whole church was covered in overgrowth. So I decided that this fancy little sign must indicate that someone had bothered to cut away the brush so the church would be visible.

      What a great decision, with several ancient chestnut trees as a bonus. One, according to a plaque, is at least 400 years old. And the church has a window that has been dated to the pre-Roman times. So it all was definitely a worthwhile detour.

      Lots of people walking these days and the weather is super. Sunny and 66 degrees in Lugo.

      I am off to walk the Roman walls before lunch. It’s about 2 km around and the walls are in tact. The guy who checked me into my hotel said they are the only fully intact Roman walls in the world. And the only ones that have free access 24/7 and no charge.

      Afternoon in Lugo

      21 september 2021, Spanje ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Well there was a lot for me to do. First I walked the Roman walls and occasionally felt like I was intruding into someone’s private space as their windows opened onto the path.

      Then a real splurge for lunch at a place called Paprica. I got the menu del dia but even so it cost more than my hotel room. But my hotel room is very cheap. 😁 I have walked in Galicia many many times, but I have never really tried all the seafood specialties. So I am making up for lost time.

      In the afternoon my main objective was to find a new shirt to replace my dear blue shirt, whose right shoulder has been ripped open by the backpack strap. Not surprising after ten or twelve caminos. But I went from store to store and found nothing. So I called it quits and went to a few Roman sites in town.

      Lugo is a beautiful city with a lot of life. I was talking to Joe from a cafe in the plaza Mayor and he could hardly hear me.

      Weather looks good!
