    • Día 54

      Day 42-Outeiro/A Calle

      20 de octubre de 2023, España ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F

      We started today's 13 mile walk in a little rain. It was off and on for a few hours but then we got ahead of it and saw blue sky and sun fir the last hour.

      We're back to seeing about a dozen pilgrims a day because we are staying in towns that are not designated as the overnight towns in the guidebooks. Tonight, we're at a lovely guesthouse that includes a small café and terrace. When we arrived, there was a lively group of Spanish 20 year olds. They're from different parts of Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, and Málaga) and met on the Camino. When they continued on to their next stop, we realized that we're the only ones staying here tonight.Leer más

      Day 42 - Outerio

      20 de octubre de 2023, España ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F

      Wow, we are so close now. We have one more 11 mile day and then a short 6 mile day into Santiago. It is so unbelievable in my mind. Feels like the start of our pilgrimage was last year sometime.
      Well, the forecast said it was supposed to rain all day, we caught a break and had good weather. We did start in the rain for about an hour and a half. It is a little cooler and we will have rain the rest of the night.
      We have 31 kilometers left, 21 tomorrow, and then 10 on Sunday.

      7.5 k coffee break.

      1 de noviembre de 2022, España ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

      Coffee in the little village of Salceda.

      We passed an albergue/beer garden decorated with empty beer bottles (Albergue das Halpins anybody???)

      I am currently being bugged by a Café Cat, who wants my café con lèche!Leer más

    • Día 48

      Brume et soleil

      5 de junio de 2023, España ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Tôt ce matin une brume épaisse est à Arzua, dès notre sortie a 7h30
      beaucoup de peregrino sont déjà sur le chemin la lumière traverse difficilement ce rideau, c'est notre avant dernière étape, on aurait préféré l'observer mais c'est limite, on accélère le pas en attente que le soleil réchauffe le rideau d'ombre et qui nous éclaire de sa lumière, le chemin est plein de pèlerins et le ☀️ a complété son travail à 9h38, prendre le temps quand tu sais que ça achève me deviens une priorité, tout ces gens qui parlent une langue différente mais qui s'anime la bonne humeur est universelle et se traduit par son intonation, randonneurs de tous les âges se côtoient souvent depuis plusieurs jours, des échanges culturels l'intérêt qu'ils se portent les uns envers les autres est perceptible.
      De notre côté nous anticipons une entrée à St Jacques avec une émotion du devoir accomplie, les hauts et les bas autant physiques que mentales seront devenus des souvenirs que nous ne souhaitons pas si lointains et surtout qui nous habitent dans nos décisions pour le reste de notre vie, ce bagage de plus de 10.6 kilos avec nos souvenirs doivent poursuivre avec nous la randonnée de nos vies qui nous restent.
      Demain le dernier 20 km viendra clôturer une aventure et des randonnées "cent"précédents.

      Je souhaite que tout ces jeunes apportent le même type de bagages, le propagent et ce qu'ils auront trouvé en cette expérience les transportent pour qu'ils puissent découvrir la solution pour créer un monde moins pire, avec un peu plus de soleil.

      Day 34: Ribadiso a O Pedrouzo

      2 de junio de 2022, España ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      I try to sneak out a little early today, to get some time on my own. This was not possible, and I and up leaving with Kevin. Today my ankle is very sore, and everything is still a little damp from yesterday. It seems likely I have developed the same affliction as Kevin which is tendinitis in my left foot.

      Each footstep on the uneven pebbles brings me one step closer to Santiago. Today, I don’t have a plan. The rain threatens in the horizon, and in my mind I feel I might continue on as far as 36km today - so that I can enjoy a leisurely start tomorrow. My body has other plans, and it becomes clear after traversing up and down hill after hill that I need to rethink.

      I ask Kevin for some alone time, he is happy to oblige. Although I walk as fast as I can to get a little distance, the two of us are hobbling at the same speed. We end up linking back up, and walking the remainder of the way together. We stop just before the rain in a town 19km from our starting point. The forecast doesn’t look good, and we decide to stay at the next town. We end up booking the same albergue, and Kevin mentions it would be his honour to walk in with me to Santiago in the morning.

      I feel conflicted, as most of me really wants to walk this final day alone. But, I know it would mean a great deal to Kevin not to be alone. Perhaps this is a Camino kindness I must do. I still haven’t decided. I’m now in a quiet hamlet about 22km from the cathedral in Santiago. Kevin would like to walk the way with me, I want to leave early to ensure I can get there when the pilgrims office opens at 10.

      I feel a bit distracted to be fully present in the experience, perhaps the overwhelm of the situation or the uncertainty about how I will feel tomorrow. Either way, tomorrow I arrive.

      I go to dinner (Kevin is there too!) and enjoy a peaceful setting with some wine. Kevin tells me his plan to create a Camino tattoo, with the initials of all of the important people he has met on the way. He has said he will put A for a girl called Anouk that he started with, and M for me, as we will walk in together. I am touched by this, and also by his honesty and vulnerability. We should all be a little more Kevin I feel.

      I make the decision to walk in with Kevin tomorrow, as perhaps it will be an important moment that will be nice to share. Who knows. I have an early night, in preparation for an early start tomorrow at 5. I will keep all posted, and I will have completed the way by the next time I write!

    • Día 45

      Walking w a Friend to Amenal

      1 de noviembre de 2022, España ⋅ ⛅ 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!

    • Boente to Salceda

      22 de octubre de 2022, España ⋅ ☁️ 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.

      Day 5 - Arzua to Salceda

      2 de octubre de 2023, España ⋅ ☁️ 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!Leer más

    • Día 56

      Salceda (14km / 739.4km)

      7 de junio de 2023, España ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

      Our first rainy day where we got to use all our rain gear which performed excellently. Good shopping Jane! Ironically we left early today to miss the heat. We started in the drizzle and walked up the hill for first breakfast, not wanting to give the rude bar owner any more of our patronage!
      The light rain continued most the day and then we got caught in a proper shower for 20 minutes. This made a mess of the muddy road but was actually quite enjoyable as a change.
      After the shower we stopped for a longer than usual lunch - a burger which went down well before continuing onto our lovely accommodation for the night.
      We are seeing less and less people we know as we get to the end which shows how much faster others are going. A lady passed us this morning who started on 10 May so she will do it in 30 days. 30 to 35 days seems quite common but they are exhausted at the end of the day and almost all carrying injuries. They are focusing on the physical aspect. There are a lot doing it in around 40 to 45 days and then people like us in 50! (We feel very Blessed to have the time).
      We had a very nice dinner at our Albergue - another Pilgrim menu of the day. We sat at a table with the 5 of us and then we invited an older American to join us too. We have bumped into him a few times. His wife died last year. He says he is happy to do anything on his own but he really doesn’t like eating on his own. He was so thankful for our invitation that he paid for dinner for everyone. I told him to invite himself to any pilgrim table - he would always be welcome, he said he knows. We are expecting another rainy day tomorrow for our last full day walk before arriving in Santiago on Friday.

    • Día 41

      Ferreiros

      15 de octubre de 2022, España ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

      Długi dzień bo prawie 30 km. Droga wiodła w zasadzie przez cały czas większymi lub mniejszymi pagórkami. Było pochmurnie, a ostatnie 5 km padał deszcz. Dość często pojawiały się wioseczki na szczęście co dawało możliwość odpoczynku w barze.
      W Leboreiro jest Iglesias de Santa Maria z malowidłami ściennymi z XV wieku dość dobrze zachowane oraz bardzo ładna rzeźba Matki Bożej. Legenda mówi, że została ona znaleziona koło fontanny z wodą, świeciła i otoczona była przyjemnym zapachem. Mieszkańcy wioski przenosili figurkę kilkakrotnie do pobliskiego kościoła, ale zawsze wracała na swoje miejsce przy fontannie. Dopiero jak zmieniono nazwę kościoła na Santa Maria to figurka Matki Bożej pozostała w kościele. Zaraz koło kościoła widoczny jest dość dobrze zachowany budynek, dawny szpital dla pielgrzymów.
      Potem wędrowaliśmy przez parę ciekawych mostów, które częściowo pamiętały czasy rzymskie do Melide znajdującego się w centrum geograficznym Galicji, stolicy dań z ośmiornicy, i dodatkowo bardzo urokliwe miasteczko. Dla tych co lubią ośmiornice to jest odjazd. Podają ja w wielu miejscach i dominuje gotowanie w wodzie ale można ją przyrządzać na różne inne sposoby, między innymi też na grillu. Doskonała rzecz.
      Ciekawe miejsce warte zapamiętania na przyszłość to Ribadiso da Baixo. Po przejściu kolejnego bardzo starego mostu po prawej stronie znajduje się dawny szpital, który został odrestaurowany i służy teraz jako Alberque, wyglądał bardzo imponująco,super miejsce na dobry nocleg. Z kolei następne miasto Arzua bardzo nudne i długie, jedyną jego zaletą są przepyszne sery.
      Cała okolica jeśli chodzi o jedzenie to słynie z owoców morza, głównie ośmiornic ale również właśnie z serów.
      Wierzyć się nie chce ze została tylko jedna noc przed Santiago.
