After 12 miles of walking we arrived in Pontevedra at Nacama Hostel. A nice number of miles, especially considering the hills. Our feet are definitely complaining these days by the time we arrive! So Czytaj więcej

Today will probably be our shortest walk of the Camino. I slept in until after 7am! Luxury! 😄 Today we crossed over onto the Spiritual Variant and, for the very first time, we missed the turn!! Czytaj więcej
PodróżnikThe name “spiritual” comes from the belief that the route follows the last part of the journey of the remains of the Apostle St. James. While the rest of the Portugues route is considered a pilgrimage, this is the only part that follows what is considered the actual path to his final resting place at Santiago de Compostela.

Do you ever get to go inside any of those ancient churches? No body does stained glass any more…it really inspiring!👍
PodróżnikSometime we do! Some are free, others charge a fee. Some have visiting hours or days.

It was another day of climbing (approx 1500ft elevation). Come to think of it, there really isn’t a day on the Camino where we are not climbing! We woke up to cloudy skies… a first on our trip! Czytaj więcej
Podróżnik
So glad you have a cooler day 😘 Were you forewarned about the climbing on this part of you trek? Your destination is not far now❣️
PodróżnikWe had an idea that there was a bit of hill! We didn’t know that it was just as large as the other “big hill” we had done!! People had posted it was a lot to do in a day to walk from Pontevedra to Armenteira! So we decided to break it up into two days and stay in Combarro. Glad we did!

Ruta de la piedra y del agua! A beautiful beginning to our long walk today! The path takes you along a creek with numerous ruins of old mills! Loved it 😍!
I can imagine it was a very serene walk along this path. Lovely photos once again. Looks much cooler too! [Kathy Aiken]

PodróżnikLove that grapevine covered path! 😙😍 And such an interesting flower…is that fruit growing with it, or are those its flower’s buds?!
PodróżnikThat’s passion fruit! I wasn’t sure what fruit it was until I saw that unmistakable flower!
PodróżnikHard to believe your walk is almost over! 😯 You guys have done amazing! I’m sure it’s a bit bitter sweet to almost be done!

PodróżnikI think I would enjoy running a hostel along the El Camino😀 Is the black tape on the toes covering blisters?
PodróżnikI keep the big toe covered so a blister doesn’t come back and the toe next to it to prevent one I felt forming. Its not painful or anything like that. The KT tape has worked great!
