      Samos Monastery

      13. toukokuuta, Espanja ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      The Monastery of San Xulián de Samos is an active Benedictine monastery in Samos, province of Lugo, Galicia, Spain. It was founded in the sixth century.

      The monastery was the School of Theology and Philosophy. It is also an important stop on the Way of Saint James, a pilgrimage leading to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great.

      The Large Cloister was built between 1685 and 1689 and has 3,000m², making it the largest in Spain. It is known as “Father Feijoo”. The style is an austere and simple combination of classicism and Herrerianism: nine semicircular arches on each side on the ground floor, Doric columns on the first two floors and Ionic columns on the windows of the third. The walls of the upper floor were decorated with scenes from the life of Saint Benedict and are the work of Enrique Navarro, Celia Cortés and José Luis Rodríguez.      Lue lisää

      Another drab monastery

      23. huhtikuuta, Espanja ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

      You could stick to the road and get to Sarria in under 20km, or you could take a rural 7km detour via a monastery, which I think was also the hillier option.

      I suspect all the long-termers (in my generous view, anyone that started before Burgos) took the detour because we're all dragging our feet on finishing, and the newbies that just started in O'Cebriero did a mixture depending on their bravery and fitness this early in their respective games.

      It was of course lovely. It was of course closed. Churches being open seems a lot like a Navarro and Rioja thing, I gotta say. It's inhabited by Benedectine monks and nuns, and good on them. There's a fucking petrol station on the side of it, I'd note. Is nothing sacred?      Lue lisää

      Samos III

      4. kesäkuuta 2022, Espanja ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

      A young man from Kansas from the group ahead of us is thinking of a life of religious service. A group of brothers escorted him to the foot of the Virgins statue in the main sanctuary, touched his rosary to her feet and prayed over him.Lue lisää

      Samos

      26. lokakuuta 2022, Espanja ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      We continued our walk down the Mountain to the town of Tricastela, then followed down the Rio Obibio, until we reached the small village of Samos. Samos has a huge Benedictine Monastery. I have a few shots here of the Monetary from up the hill and in town. Sue will have interior shots in her post.

      Right before town the kilometer markers dropped below 130k to go!      Lue lisää

      Through Hamlets & Woodlands to Sarria

      27. lokakuuta 2022, Espanja ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      What a gift today's weather has been! Wore shorts & a t-shirt for the first time in a couple of weeks. Sunshine & blue sky was with us through our mostly woodland, rolling-hill walk to Sarria. There were several times we had to break out the rain ponchos for brief sprinkles, but then the sun returned. The temps were in the high 60's for most of the day.
      Saw a farmer harvesting chestnuts with a cool rake, he posed for me. Saw lots of gardens with pumpkins & squash. Many farms with goats & chickens. There was a pretty unusual black-headed, white body goat we took a pic of. Also, got treated to 2 pretty cool rainbows!      Lue lisää

      Day 32

      24. syyskuuta 2022, Espanja ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      This morning started unexpectedly damp!! A quick root through my bag to find my waterproof coat, extra long sleeved top and rucksack cover and off I eventually go…
      Today’s walk wasn’t too far, so I opted to take the alternative scenic route despite it being about 7km further. A good decision, it was a very undulating day, through wooded tracks, trails and villages with very little on, or alongside the roads.
      Due to this I met less people, quite nice as the route apparently becomes quite busy from Sarria to Compostela.
      Once again I bumped into Alexander ( barefoot ) he commented that I’d passed him a few times and that he remembered me saying hello to him at the statue outside of O’Cebreiro yesterday. He then asked if I’d take a photo of him ( with his phone ) and offered to do the same for me..
      On my arrival in Sarria, I met the three Irish ladies again, they had just finished.and we’re quite giddy. The stages between Leon and Sarria were all they had left to do having started it years ago.. they did the final section last time just in case anything happened to one of them so that they’d have their Camino certificates. They too asked me to take their picture and I asked if they’d mind if I took one of them .. they’re fabulous 🥰
      The temperature has dramatically dropped this evening, fortunately I’ve found a fleece blanket under my bed, that is now definitely on top of it!!!
      Off for dinner now.. I wonder what culinary delight awaits.. 😂      Lue lisää

      O Cebreiro to Lusio 28.9 km

      9. huhtikuuta, Espanja ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      So it snowed more overnight. Christianne was nervous walking by herself and wanted to walk with me again. We headed out with our headlamps. It was a winter wonderland. I loved every step. Christianne is a "Drama Queen" and was exclaiming loudly when faced with a hill.

      As we reached another summit it ended with a bar being open!
      I ate a huge piece of tortilla Patata. I saved the rest and the huge slice of bread for later. I am so glad that I did in hindsight.

      We parted ways as Christianne is always wanting to be on the go.....me not so much and wanted to take a break to take off excess clothing.

      I arrived in Triacastela. Very touristy town. I went into the Supermercado and was told to leave my pack outside. I understand that however the woman was not friendly at all.

      It was just 12:30 and I didn't have a good feel for the town to spend the night and decided to continue on.
      It was a beautiful path by the river.      Lue lisää

      Moins de 150 km !

      31. toukokuuta 2023, Espanja ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Chemin de Compostelle 34/40
      Étape #. 27. Camino francés « Hospital à Samos ». Kilomètres parcourus 26,5 km. Cumulatif : 883,2 km, moyenne 25,9 km par jour. Étapes restantes avant Saint-Jacques de Compostelle : 6 et moins de 128 km à fouler.

      Journée particulièrement encourageante puisqu’à 7h45 ce matin nous franchissions la borne indiquant qu’il nous reste 150 km à fouler pour arriver à Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle (Santiago, Espagne). Photo. Un peu avant cette borne nous avons dû gravir quelques montées abruptes (25 %) avant d’amorcer une descente raide atteignant par moment 24 % de dénivellation, jusqu’à 700 mètres pendant 7 km. La descente s’est très bien passée.

      Nous avons emprunté un chemin nettement plus traditionnel. Nous sommes chanceux, pas de pluie une température idéale pour marcher et toujours une petite brise par moment.

      Nous avons donc couché 26 bornes aujourd’hui et il nous reste 128 kilomètres avant d’atteindre Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle (Santiago).
      Nous sommes si près de l’objectif.

      Demain petite journée au bureau et 12 km.

      Buen Camino 🤗      Lue lisää

      Triacastela to Sarria - part one

      23. huhtikuuta, Espanja ⋅ ☀️ 5 °C

      Well I had a giant nap yesterday and slept in until 7am today and whaddaya know I had a much nicer day. As much as it's only walking and I'm sleeping much better, I do think it's all starting to stack up now, and I'm potentially more tired than I realise. Without the back pain it'd probably be more manageable.

      We are coming to the end of the short sleeve weather so I hope cooler (moving into wetter) days don't completely unravel me. A silver lining of that however, might be that it makes it easier to manage the ending. If the difference between the Camino and Portugal includes being warm and dry, I'll be more excited about it.

      As well as a nap, yesterday I sorted a bed for today in Sarria in advance - the first time I think I've done that potentially - so considering that and the fact that it's not getting hot today, I can dawdle happily.

      Dawdle happily I did. Top of 17, clear, 25km, bewdy. Perfect long sleeve weather. Barely saw anyone on the way, which suited me fine as I've ricocheted back to fierce independence - you can't hurt me, I'm avoiding you first!

      The Camino always provides, and today I copped three excitingly edible blessings.

      1. I ran into Fabrice and two others about five kilometres in, Fabrice was practically manic cutting up bread and sausage, stuffing it into our hands along with cheese and olives and walnuts. The non-smoking thing is great in theory but I think in practice it's just been replaced by weed and as a result he's eating a lot. I took my picnic to go and told them I'd see them in Samos.

      2. I got to Samos first and was lining up to order a coffee when Fabrice pushed in front of me at the bar. This honestly really gave me the irrits given we'd already had an odd day with each other yesterday, but then he turned around and handed me the coffee he had bought which was very nice. I still think I've got the irrits though.

      3. A pilgrim rest stop at someone's house, always appreciated, always adorable. I had a mandarin and a milk and fruit smoothie juice box thing.

      I also worked out I have *just* enough boxes left in my Credential to fit the minimum required remaining stamps (10) between Sarria and Santiago. This is exceptionally pleasing as I haven't been consciously moderating this but running over only a little bit to start a new one would have really annoyed me - I'd prefer them to all fit on one or to have gone crazy on them and filled two. Muy buen.      Lue lisää

      Desperate for a toilet!

      20. elokuuta 2022, Espanja ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      There were a few small villages between Samos and Sarria (the big town 4k before today's destination), but either they had no facilities at all, or they were closed.
      I needed a toilet and was holding it, wishing for another village with an open bar around the next turn... and prepared to settle for a tall grass patch offering some privacy.
      When I got to an accessible area with some trees and grasses, it was very hard to take position because of the berry bushes, which were full of thorns, so I desisted and kept walking a bit more.
      Then I got to the place in the pictures. It was an albergue and cafe/restaurant, with 'open' signs but no one there. The cafe was clearly closed. The albergue door was unlocked. I stepped in and it was all dark and silent inside. I called 'Hola!' and looked around until I found the toilets. I was saved!
      A hand written note inside the toilet door asked for a 50c donation to help with maintenance costs, and I gladly complied with the request.
      Walking became much easier after that!      Lue lisää
