Day 34, March 3rd. I left Alto da Pena with a sunny sky and a cool breeze heading for Dumbría, about 5km past the Finistère/Muxía split. It rained a little but the optimistic forecast convinced me to use my pack cover and rain coat but no rain...
Day 33, March 2nd. I ate up half the day eating breakfast and drinking coffee and tracing my Santiago footsteps of four years ago with Christine before heading to Alto da Peña. The Way to Finistère/Muxía is beautiful even before you leave city...

Day 28, February 26.
I passed the toothless guy with the cane, he was there on my way up, I tried to tell him "mucho agua", he laughed, said something I didn't understand and kept walking 😂.
Day 27, February 25th, I left A Fonsarada clad in rain gear again as it was supposed to rain all day. I was rested and felt good, even when my shoes soaked through before an hour was up (I signed up for this 😃). Almost all the snow had melted as...
