Hello! After Portomarín and Gonzar, there is a place called Castro de Castromaior, archaeological remains of an ancient village. It is only a few meters away from the camino and you get back on it very easily. If you like history, it is worth the detour.
A nice evening at albergue casa Domingo in Ponte Campaña. A fellow pilgrim playing a piece my parents loved at the guitar and bringing them back for a few minutes.
Camino Francés, July 2022
These are what my Stinsons look like, after walking the Francés last summer and I’ve also kept wearing them for the last year, mostly for hikes in the woods. Loved them on camino!
Thanks for the feedback on the Challengers. I wore the Stinson ATR 6 on the Francés last summer and can still wear them, still in good shape though the treads are mostly gone now. I already bought a new pair for my camino next summer (hopefully Madrid, San Salvador and Primitivo).
Thank you so much for bringing us with you on this camino. It really comforted me in my decision to walk the same path next summer and helped with the wait. Buen camino of life as a retiree!
