      Vilianova de Aroursa to Pontecesures

      6 juni, Spanje ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Boat ride to Pontecesures (from “Amare Turismo Náutico” web site):

      This route Xacobea Del Mar De Arousa Y Río Ulla is also known as La Traslatio, the name given to the transfer of the remains of the Apostol Santiago from Jerusalem to Santiago De Compostela.

      At the beginning of the route, we see mussel rafts, wooden platforms on which this precious mollusk is grown.

      Continuing our journey we find the Brinas Islands, the Malveiras and the Cortegada Island, islands belonging to the Atlantic Islands National Park, where some of the 17 cruceiros are located that form a unique Maritime River Way of the Cross world to Pontecesures.

      We will see the first crossings and then we will enter the waters of the Ulla River. We will pass through the towns of Bamio, Catoira, Valga and Dodro until we reach Pontecesures.

      During the rest of the journey we will observe the rest of the Cruceiros, the Catoira Towers and the Viking ships accompanied throughout our route by incredible landscapes and nature.

      A route in which the tranquility and a landscape that seems to be from medieval times will make us arrive full of strength to face our last stage of the Camino de Santiago.      Meer informatie

      Vilanova de Arousa to Padron

      15 september 2023, Spanje ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      The 5k walk back into town from the hotel was a good loosener for the legs. There was a heavy sea mist but I was hoping the sun would burn this off. We didn't sail until 12:30 so it wasn't an unrealistic expectation.

      On the entrance to the town stood the church of San Cipriano. Mass was just finishing and the congregation filing out. We took the opportunity to dive in, whisper in Santiago's ear, get a sello and a blessing from the priest. A beautiful church.

      Down at the marina the tourist information provided us with two extra sellos. We whiled away an hour drinking cafe con lech.

      Bang on time a couple of boats turned up and we were the last three onto the first to sail. The ride up the river was excellent. I was a little startled by the speed though. We saw 40km/hr at one point! I'm more used to 3 knots flat out when sailing. Lots of crucerios to see and lots of birds. I do like a boat ride.

      All to soon it was over and we were back to walking. Padron was reached in no time. It was just as I remembered it. Well almost. I had a wander up to the Pilar church, more properly known as Igrexa de Santiago Apostolo de Padron, to check on Mass times. 8 O'clock. Fine. Then a damper was cast on the mood when I saw that Pepe's bar was up for sale. Through the window the flags and football shirts could be seen hanging from the roof, but a layer of dust covered the tables and the furniture. Nothing ever changes for the better.

      A little food was taken and a wander round the town had until it was time for Mass at 8. And so to bed.

      Executive Summary. Vilanova de Arousa is a great little place and the translation up the river a fantastic addition to the many varied experiences which constitute a Camino.      Meer informatie

      Tag 10 Schmerzen und Freude.

      23 augustus 2023, Spanje ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

      Tag 10: Von Caldas de Reis nach Padron.

      Der gestrige Welness-Abend mit Pool ,ein Wein- und Gartenfest bei über 30 Grad, als würde die Sonne persönlich Party machen.
      Um Mitternacht traf ich Frodo im Zimmer der Herberge der anscheinend seinen Ring in die Lava werfen wollte. Ich bat um Entschuldigung für die Störung und flüchtete in den Garten der Herberge, um meine Hängematte aufzuhängen und darin ins Traumland zu verschwinden. Scheinbar weht nachts tatsächlich frische Luft, wer hätte das gedacht?

      Um 5:30 Uhr wagte ich den ersten Versuch, mich aus meiner Hängematte zu schälen, als wäre ich in einem Kokon erwacht. Und dann kam das Frühstücksbüffet – Kaffee in Hülle und Fülle! Trockenes Brot und Rührkuchen gesellten sich dazu, als ob sie auf der Suche nach einem besseren Leben wären.

      Die heutige Etappe war nur knapp 20 km lang, ein Spaziergang im Vergleich zu den vorherigen Tagesmärschen. Die Sonne, dieses gelbe Gasball-Monster, stieg langsam auf, und richtete seine feurigen Laserstrahlen auf mich während mein linkes Schienbein beschloss, eine eigene Revolte zu starten. Der Camino kann einem wirklich auf den Geist gehen, oder besser gesagt, auf das Schienbein.

      Ich will mich nicht beklagen – keine Blasen, keine Rückenschmerzen, ich fühle mich fast wie ein Superheld mit Rheuma.
      Gegen Mittag, so um 12:00 Uhr, erreichten wir das charmante Örtchen Padron.
      Pilger waren überall, als würden sie wie Pfifferlinge aus dem Boden sprießen. Ich machte im Schatten eines wundervollen Parks eine Pause, bevor ich mich auf das letzte Bett des Caminho vorbereitete – vorerst zumindest.

      Ein kurzer Besuch in der Apotheke und plötzlich wurde ich zum Physiotherapeuten in Videotelefonie. Mein Schienbein erhielt eine improvisierte Stretch-Tape-Behandlung. Wer braucht schon medizinische Zertifikate? Mal schauen, ob morgen meine Tape-Künste die heimlichen Helden sind.

      Padron, die Stadt der charmanten Gassen, als hätte sie sich direkt aus einem Film in unsere Realität geschlichen.
      Wundervolle kleine Restaurants und Lädchen reihen sich aneinander und laden gerade jetzt wo die Sonne etwas tiefer steht zum gemütlichen verweilen ein.
      Jetzt steht das finale Abendessen bevor, bevor sich morgen unsere Wege in Santiago trennen werden.
      Rückblickend kann ich sagen: Der Camino ist wie ein riesiger Basar des Lebens. Menschen kommen, Menschen gehen – als wären sie auf Schnäppchenjagd. Schmerz, Freude, Tränen – all das gibt es hier im Überfluss, wie eine Emotionsachterbahn. Und wenn du denkst, du hättest alles gesehen, pass auf, dass du gerade auf den letzten beiden Etappen deinem Vordermann nicht auf die Fersen trittst oder vom Hintermann geschubst wirst!

      Tag 12: Caldas de Reis - Padrón (~20km)

      13 mei, Spanje ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

      Heute regnet es wieder, bah. Natürlich muss dieser Camino enden, wie er begonnen hat, es ist nur noch Regen für die nächsten Tage gemeldet. Es soll am Nachmittag zwar besser werden, aber das hilft nichts, wenn man die Herberge bis 8 Uhr verlassen muss. Cape an, Regenhose an, los gehts. „Songs to sing in the shower“ klingt nach ner guten Playlist für das Wetter und tatsächlich ist meine Laune trotz dem Scheißwetter deutlich besser als die ersten Tage. Meine Kondition aber auch und so laufe ich mit möglichst wenigen Pausen einfach immer weiter, singe ein wenig vor mich hin und vermeide überfüllte Kaffees. Der Weg ist bestimmt hübsch, ich mache wetterbedingt aber wenige Bilder und komme so früh wie nie am Ziel an. Ich entscheide mich wieder für die öffentliche Herberge, die neben dem Kloster liegt und einen sehr schönen (aber großen) Schlafsaal bietet. Was für ein Hallo, als ich in der Bettenreihe neben mir Janice und ihren Vater wiedertreffe!!

      Durch die wenigen Pausen bin ich heute ziemlich kaputt und mache das erste mal einen kleinen Mittagsschlaf, bevor ich mir den Ort anschaue. Ich treffe in der Stadt auch noch auf Fritz, einen jungen Deutschen den Bogo und Speedy in Caminha (?) kennengelernt hatten, der aber ab dort ein Stück mit einem Kanu gebucht hatte. Ich gehe mit ihm, Janice, Jens und Bogo ein Bier trinken, bevor wir ohne die beiden Berliner, aber mit Patricjia Abendessen gehen. Man merkt, dass wir nur noch einen Tag von Santiago entfernt sind, die Stimmung ist positiv geladen.

      Patricija, Bogo und ich wollen noch die Kirche anschauen, die irgendeinen berühmten Stein beherbergt, die anderen waren dort bereits. Als wir ankommen, ist gerade die Messe fertig und während wir uns umschauen, schließt der junge Priester bereits die Türen. Wir beeilen uns ein wenig, er beruhigt uns aber und meint, er habe Zeit und würde in Ruhe aufräumen, wir könnten so lange bleiben wie wir wollten. Eine Kirche fast für sich haben ist ein tolles Gefühl und nochmal einen kurzen Moment Ruhe bevor wir morgen nach Santiago gehen, fühlt sich richtig an.
      Anschließend laufen wir noch hoch zum Kloster, bei dem ich nicht sicher bin, ob es noch genutzt wird. Es hat auf jeden Fall zurzeit eine kleine kostenlose Kunstausstellung, die wir uns noch gemeinsam anschauen, bevor es zurück zur Albergue geht.      Meer informatie

      Padron #12

      12 juni 2023, Spanje ⋅ 🌧 21 °C

      #12camino Thinking of mum today, it is her birthday, XII.VI.MCMXVI. Friendship and her love of art were important to mum. She got into the NGV art school, but her dad said there was no future in art and so she did dentistry. But art was sacrosanct and as kids we respected that. My friends thought of her as the ‘fun mum’. In the end her greatest comfort came from a dog-eared copy of Christopher Robin, which she could recite thru the cloud of alzheimers and macular degeneration as I read.
      To the Camino, an easy 20 km walk, no bikes and the pilgrims spaced-out beautifully. Didn’t talk much and accelerated when I could understand the conversations. Really tried to focus on mindfulness and my immediate surrounds.
      Padrón IS the cradle of the “Xacobeo” (Way of St James)
      Padrón is closely linked to the Way of St. James and the Apostle James. According to tradition, it was in this region that St. James the Greater preached the Good News. Due to this, after he died in Jaffa, Palestine, his body was brought here by two of his disciples, Theodore and Athanasius. After a long voyage accompanying the Apostle’s body, they came to the Port of Murgadán, Iria Flava, where they moored their boat to a Roman altar stone in the Sar River. The stone, which is called the “Pedrón,” is now located under the main altar of the Church of Santiago, in the municipality of Padrón. Padrón thereby became the “Cradle of the Way of St. James,”
      The medieval town of Padrón was established at a crossroads, a pilgrimage site in the Middleages.
      Had a lovely wander round the old town and climbed Monte Santiago. Beautiful shady trees in Bot gardens and pink sunset.
      I think it is going to rain tomorrow for the last leg, hope it doesn’t.      Meer informatie

      Change of plans...

      20 mei 2023, Spanje ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      Our accommodation last night was excellent (apart from the small kitchen). It was a stone built house with exposed stone everywhere. We enjoyed our stay, and joining the camino this morning was easy.
      The way was a mixture of uphill, downhill, through wooded areas, villages, hamlets, small industrial areas, farmland - everything you could ever dream of, all in one morning! Some of our paths were outstandingly beautiful, and it's difficult to reflect their beauty in a few photographs. Birds singing, frogs croaking - very loudly! - water falling, and the different scents of the camino. It's what we walk for!
      At one point we could choose between the road or a more green route, so obviously we chose the green route. It wound around the outskirts of Pontevedra and at times was a little tricky, with lots of stones and tree trunks to trip you up😨. Once back on the road, we wandered into Pontevedra town centre, stopping first for a cold drink (coke!) The town was busy, it being a Saturday, but it was fabulous to listen to street music and wander through the streets.
      We didn't know what to do for lunch; we still had about 11kms to do and knew we were eating at the albergue in the evening (no accommodation for miles around) and often communal meals are quite large, with humongous amounts of wine, so we were undecided... bocadilla or pilgrim's menu? Fortunately, we chose the pilgrim's menu🤣 so lunch was a 3 course meal. Couldn't say it was delicious, but it was fine.
      We trudged on, arriving at the albergue mid afternoon. We registered and were told the evening meal was at 1930, but we should gather at 1915 to prepare the table. What followed was like something out of Faulty Towers 🤭🤣. There must have been about 50 pilgrims seated outside. Pedro, the hospitalero, made some sort of speech about us all being one community, then told us to help ourselves to the evening's meal, which consisted of... cabbage soup and boiled eggs accompanied by bread and wine 😱😨🤣. "Eat as much as you like!" he shouted - 🤢🤢🤢🤣🤣🤣. Unsurprisingly, there was quite a lot of soup left over! The eggs disappeared, presumably because they were 'safe'! Following this epicurean delight, I got my phone out and checked our route for the last 2 days. Oh no! Another 2 albergues before we reached Santiago de Compostela. We decided there was no way we could do that again, so we changed tack and booked an apartment in Padron. It meant we'd have to take a bus for one stage but we were well up for that!
      To add insult to injury, climbing onto my bunk involved someone shoving me up there from behind 😆 and we hardly slept because of the snoring, the chatting, the coughing and the clapping! Yes, clapping! Presumably to stop the snoring🤔🤭🤣. We're looking forward to a good night's sleep after this!
      Such fun!🙄😆🤣      Meer informatie

      There were not too many pictures as it was very cold and pouring rain the whole walk this day as it was a challenge to pull out my phone and keep soldiering on. Once I arrived in Pontevedra, I checked into my hostel and then stepped out yet again in pouring rain for a bite. The city after dark was empty, but the ruins and historical buildings had an immense presence. I just wish I could have spent more time here learning about the history.Meer informatie

      This place is amazing they have thought of just about everything that a Pilgrim could need. Everything that other have including WiFi, free Tea Coffee,Hot Showers and comfy beds with curtains, power points and fresh linen and towel add on to that lockers which are big enough for your backpack with a power socket to charge things , They give you a tub to put your dirty laundry including what you were wearing and got soaked through today and they wash , dry and fold and leave on your bunk. And a new one they have a boot drying machine on the go mine are next ! Guys they charge 19€ a night !!!!! Oh and my two fellow Lady Pilgrims from Vegas in the next bunk. I have happy memories of this town and albergue and after a challenging day I'm feeling good ,!!!!Meer informatie

      Day 13 walking the Camino

      11 oktober 2023, Spanje ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Started our final day on the Camino in Padron (same name as the famous tapas peppers). It was a long day; 21.5 kms. We walked through small little hamlets and some forested areas. Saw lots of cats today and stopped for lunch at A Casina Galega in Picarana. Had the largest BLT either of us has ever seen. We actually laughed when they were put in front of us as there was not a chance we could eat more than half. There was however a very sweet stray cat who joined us on the patio and she really enjoyed the bacon from my uneaten half sandwich. Saw some more cute animals today and a farm where the scarecrows are dressed for Halloween. On the edge of Santiago someone had decorated the front of their home with some figures. Also wanted to share something we've seen in several cities; the public park exercise equipment. We also saw this in Portugal along the coastline. Such a cool idea. Finally we arrived in Santiago and did the obligatory selfie in front of the Cathedral. It is an awe inspiring place. And then we went and celebrated with ice cream!Meer informatie
