Day 14- Combarro to Os Castaños ~17km (I think)
Today was another climb and the first day of three 90+ days (we have been blessed with mostly low to mid 70s), so we set out at first light to stay out of the heat. The hill was steep, but very...
Day 13- Pontevedra to Combarro ~11km
This was almost a rest day, but a gorgeous walk up and out of Pontevedra. We really liked both Pontevedra and Combarro. At a little cafe in Cabeliero we had a nice conversation with a couple from The...
Buen camino on the Invierno, BP. I totally get it that you just want to walk. (No matter what we might think of that.... 😪)
And well done on these last two. It's been such a joy to follow along. Gracias.
Wrap up:
Our trip back to Porto by bus was surreal. What took us 17 days walking was a mere 3.5 hours. Seeing some of the towns from the height and position of the bus was *such* a different perspective! I wouldn't have recognized Valença if it...

Firstly, it's still a wonderful Camino...
I am scrolling through a lot of stuff this morning, eventful - Wimbledon, Taylor Swift, elections - and it is such a pleasure to share this piece from the latest bulletin from the Hospitaleros Voluntarios. I remember well my own experience there...
Thanks so much for posting BP. I have enjoyed following your progress and all your insights. My turn will come hopefully. Have a wonderful next stage.
😊
Day 17: Sangüesa - Monreal, 27 kms
People kept snoring all night long. I had my earplugs at the bottom of my backpack so I didn't bother to use them. I got a few hours of sleep until shortly before 6 o'clock when everyone got up at the same...
Day 13: Outeiro to Santiago de Compostela — 16km
After yesterday’s rain, the camino god(s) smiled on us today and gave us a beautiful blue-sky day for a magical entry into Santiago.
We left early this morning and walked quickly, making only...
