[QUOTE="anita_m, post: 356824, member: 47020"] The morning past the dinosaur area was quite pleasant. (I just uploaded a photo I took, but don't know where it went!). You will find Carolina, a UK expat, who speaks perfect English at Cafe bar O Croceiro in Pontevedra, I enjoyed a nice quaint lunch there. Anyway, in the afternoon, just to warn you, it was the worst and most difficult trek for me. EVER. In my entire life. I just wanted to lay down and die, literally. I was quite alone. and in a LOT of pain. I never saw another pilgrim, another person, or any other living creature whatsoever. It was pure torture! My feet were absolutely killing me every f***ing step of the entire second half--about 15k (over 9 mi). I still to this day cannot believe I survived it. When I finally literally limped into Siguero, the first thing I saw was the bright neon sign for the Farmacia, which I immediately walked toward (all uphill, of course) and got some Compeed and anti-septic gel and some vaseline. I was also quite sunburned. It was truly was most difficult day for me ever. I was so glad to end up at Hostel Siguero. Lucia was wonderfully sympathetic and helpful. And the cafe there had the biggest, most delicious potato frittata ever--it was HUGE. A nice green salad. and she even went out and bought me gluten free bread, which I didn't ask for, but when I turned down the usual bread and explained why, she did that all on her own--as did many other hosts where I stayed. The Spanish are very, very welcoming and bread is an important part of their culture, apparently. Everyone was SO nice and accommodating. She offered to buy me a beer since the backpack shuttle had lost my duffle--which I was using their service because I had packed way too much stuff, so I forwarded my light duffle every day and only had to carry the barest of essentials in my backpack. My duffle showed up eventually, but only after I had a meltdown and ended up calling my best friend back in the States to vent and get some sympathy! It all worked out in the end. Hotel Siguero was great. I would definitely stay there again. But when I go back in 2016 to walk from Tui to SdC, I will be wearing different hiking shoes and also putting vaseline on my feet daily.
