Molinaseca
1 Juli 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F
Hiking down the loose rubble and smoothed stones of a relentless descent made me glad that we chose to summit/cross yesterday.

Did I mention the pool?
That is still smiling me today.

My wrists are sore - I adopted a pair of hiking poles on Thursday and used them all day yesterday. I think that they helped me enjoy a more stable hike and I suppose that the soreness indicates that they shifted some weight off of my knees. Good things.

The scenic and flowered trail dropped a few thousand (no exaggeration, I think it was over 2,000) to the picturesque town of Molinaseca. One crosses a quaint Roman bridge and enters narrow, medieval feeling streets and alleys. Walking down main street at 9am on Saturday was eerily quiet but stunningly pretty. We did pass through another, tiny, town earlier but it was entirely somnolent at about 8am - the only indicator of life ws that someone set out a pot of coffee, free, for pilgrims to fortify themsleves on rhe descent. Very kind.

Now refreshed with a proper coffee and a generous portion of tortilla we will push westward!Baca selengkapnya

Locked.
2 Juli 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
Apparently walking through the Puerta del Perdón grants some sort of sin get-out-of-jail-free-card.

Alas.... It was not open on this sunny Sunday.

But it is pretty anyway and I have my doubts about the efficacy of such things, anyway.

Also ... Bought some scrumptious plums from a friendly lady by the side of the road. No advertised impact on sinning, but tastes good, which is good enough for me.Baca selengkapnya

Rivers Are Even Better Than Pools
2 Juli 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
Brisk and very refreshing on this low-90s day.
At ~2,000ft (~700m) elevation I expected the Rio Valcarce to be a warmish river. It is not warm....
....but feels fantastic on my aching feet.

I'm watching two bewitchingly blue/black butterlies bounce by a berry bush while I soak my toes and drip-dry on a concrete embankment in a light breeze.

I think that this might be my 1st ever river-swim in Spain. I doubt it is my last.

Life is good.Baca selengkapnya

Play!
3 Juli 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
Faba is a tiny little village that's not-quite-half-way up the steepest climb on the Camino.

Feeling strong so far.

Strong enough to play a little 🐸 game while waiting on a delicious sammich and the original energy drink.Baca selengkapnya

PelancongIsn’t Faba on the way to O Cebrero? I still remember how steep uphill this path was! Many people sent their backpacks with a taxi to the Albergue!

En a Terra Galega
3 Juli 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
It took me 30 years, but I made it back to Galicia!

¡Que alegría!

Today's walk was stunningly beautiful. Wildflowers, rambling rivers, soaring vistas, stacks upon stacks of mountains receding into forever, cows, delicious food, creeks friendly hellos, a high quality path (usually), some shade, some sun.

We couldn't have asked for much better than what we got.

25.3 Km and 907m of gain
15.7 miles & 2,975ft of gain

Legs feel great, feet are tired but not injured.

The change in architecture and foliage as one crests the ridge is immediately noticeable. We have moved into a much wetter clime. I hope we continue to enjoy such beautifully sunny days.

Now it's time to clean up, rest up, then rustle up something for dinner in this one horse town made of mossy gray stone and slate.Baca selengkapnya

Sporty Climb to Start
4 Juli 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 52 °F
The albergue in Hospital de Condesa was lovely. Much better than I expected for 8€.
And I enjoyed watching locals hang out, chatting at the bar in slanting sunlight while cows strolled along, bells jangling and happy dogs at their heels.

A fine evening with cool air for sleeping and a quiet crowd... I'll never take non-snorers for granted again. It's so nice.

The morning was misty and cool, but is burning off quickly to give us sparkling green views of rolling hills and mossy dwarven forests. The trail didn't mess around, jumps right into a very peppy climb for about 2km... But then coffee. Yay, coffee!

No pan de chocolate at 1st breakfast, but possibly the heftiest tortilla I've yet seen!Baca selengkapnya

A New Chocolate Bread Experience
4 Juli 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
2nd breakfast. No napolitana here, either, but a new treat: sugary bread with chocolate inside. Sorta like a donut.

Views to stir the heart but wet feet from so much dewy grass and few surfaces offer less traction than wet running shoes on long dewy grasses.

The trail is getting more caminantes than I am used to seeing and from the sounds of it, Sarria will add many more tomorrow. Which is fun! We walked with two women from Murcia and Extremadura for a while, enjoying their enthusiasm - one had started yesterday and completely lacks the "feet are wrecked" vibe.Baca selengkapnya

Self Care Day; Triacastela
4 Juli 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F
The descent today looked brutal on a map, and crowds are growing and it was time to do some self care...

So today's was a short 15km to Triacastela.
I treated myself to a wash and haircut (and shave). Delightful. The sweet haircutter was tickled that I understand and almost can speak Gallego. We had fun.

After the cut I caught up w Bruce for a delicious lunch and a bottle of wine for less than the cost of a bottle of wine in California. As we ate, I noticed a physical therapy storefront who advertised masaage. When they opened at 3pm (about the end of lunch anyway) I popped right in for an hour of pampering. Why not make it a full spa day?

60 minutes of legs, feet, and back: a pilgrim's massage. Amazing. Luxurious. Healing. Wonderful. Well worth the 45€ pricetag.

A nap was the best next thing before a ahower and then back to a spiffy bar to enjoy my annual scotch. Dad was an enthusiast and I felt it would be a good remembrance of his last day, to toast him. I'm glad that I did. It felt right and tasted pretty good.

The rest of the evening was tasty snacks and pleasant conversation.

Tomorrow we walk again. The increase in short-distance 'pilgrims' means that we have to plan more specifically, but I think it'll be fine.Baca selengkapnya
