Hola amigo,
Wish I lived so near to Spain, could go on the Camino or part of it every year.
Would be nice to sample 2 weeks of it every now n then. Cheers!
Burn Camino.
Hola Fred,
So happy that I took a look at this entry about your amazing episode.
Yes, God sent His angels to help us all on the Camino. I am so fascinated with this story.
Thank God n Praise God.
Hola,
Somehow, they never seemed to compete for the same albergues, that's how I felt.
The local pilgrims seem to have their own places to stay. Buen Camino!
Hola,
Just appear at the Convent at 1000hrs with yr credentials. Give an optional donation. That's is. Alternatively, appear at 1900hrs, I think. They are giving it out this year, until some time in November, I think. You can google it. Better hurry!
Finally arrived at Santiago on 09Oct, Thurs, at 1415hrs after 3 full hrs of rain in the morning. It's cold, wet and tiring. The shoes were ski-ingly wet.
Had to break for lunch before finding the courage/energy to navigate into the city. Too much traffic, noise and narrow streets. Into...
From start from Arzua, we have had rain until 15mins prior to arrival to albergue at O'Pedrouzo, 1330hrs. Full flavor of the rain, at times heavy n windy. The longest rain so far in 35 days.
Arrived at Arzua albergue at 1205hrs from Melide. Intermittent drizzle almost all the way from very light fog-like drizzle to heavier form. Got quite wet when arriving at albergue. Drizzle stopped after 1500hrs.
Arrived at Melide at 1230hrs after going thru intermittent light drizzles. Now at albergue, the rain has become quite heavy. Peregrinos, watch for rain in the afternoons.
Hola,
Yes, the descent was far worse than the ascent. So steep n rocky. No room for error esp when carrying a backpack.
Must have a walking stick, at least.
At Eirexe before Palas de Rei, no big rush for bed. Many pilgrims walking thru, even at 4pm. Slight drizzle after 3pm. We r all settled in Xunta albergue.
