Day 10
Lugo
March 29 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C
Wir sind angekommen in Lugo, was übrigens die älteste Stadt Galiciens ist. Ihre Gründung geht auf die expansive Politik der Römer in der Zeit des Kaisers Augustus zurück. Der alte Stadtkern ist vollständig von der mehr als zwei Kilometer langen Römischen Stadtmauer aus dem 3. Jahrhundert umgeben, die seit dem Jahr 2000 als UNESCO-Welterbe anerkannt ist. Die Mauer ist zwischen sechs und acht Metern dick, an der höchsten Stelle etwa zwölf Meter hoch und weist 85, meist halbkreisförmige Türme auf. Die Mauer hatte zu römischer Zeit fünf, heute zehn Tore.

Verrückt, dass diese tausendjährige Befestigungsanlage auch heute noch hervorragend da steht. Wir sind auf der Mauer einmal um die Stadt haben was gegessen und sind jetzt in der Herberge angekommen.Read more

Sorrow and beauty
June 11, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
I woke up feeling fairly intensely sad so I took some time to write some poetry which help ease the worst of it.

I think it was hard seeing all the couples dresses up having fun and thinking about how much fun we'd have here with Corinne.

It felt good to get my pack on and start moving again.

Saw this beautiful orchid or Lilly on the way to the bus stationRead more

Day 9
100km ab Lugo
September 4, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Heute war die Etappe nur 22km und unser Ziel Lugo. Wir sind wieder früh in unserer Herberge aufgebrochen und ohne Frühstück ging es los. Nach ca 5km kamen wir an einer Herberge vorbei und der Wirt gab uns Kaffee und wir durften frühstücken.
Der Weg war ein leichtes bergauf und bergab, oft auf geterten Straßen. Das Wetter war frisch, aber angenehm zum laufen.
Jetzt machen wir die Wäsche und dann schauen wir uns die Stadt an.Read more

Day 16
A short day into Lugo
September 21, 2021 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 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.Read more
Traveler The Roman Walls around the city are amazing. I read that they are a World Heritage site. What a treasure!

Traveler Beautiful pictures, all of them, Laurie. Nils and I have been enjoying your posts. The Camino is giving you peace, solitude, immersion in nature and cultural highlights. What a perfect combination!

Day 16
Afternoon in Lugo
September 21, 2021 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 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!Read more
Traveler Who would have thought you would need to take a sewing kit on a Camino??

Traveler Lovely blue skies Laurie! Better than the rain in France! Need to catch up on your writing? Will you be staying with my friends in Ponte Ferreira? Probably not since you're keeping to private rooms.

Traveler Beautiful pics! Is that ahi poke? In Lugo?? Amazing. It's sad to read about your shirt - fond memories of seeing you in it on the Baztan.
