[QUOTE="jungleboy, post: 1034750, member: 77691"] [B]CPI Day 10: Chaves - Verín: ~25km[/B] Today was our last day on the CPI and, unfortunately, this camino deserved a better finale. Almost the entire stage was on asphalt, including a 7km exit from Chaves on a main road. Luckily, Wendy’s improved feet can handle asphalt much better at the moment than in previous years. Part of the problem was that the route designers didn’t seem to make any attempt to divert the camino off the asphalt, even though there were several opportunities to do so. Just by looking at maps.me, we could see trails and secondary roads leading off the road, and three times we took these alternatives, which were all preferable to the way-marked route. That said, we saw a simple but nice Romanesque church in the morning and many more broom shrubs with their yellow flowers, and had several interesting interactions with locals on both sides of the border (one lady gave us oranges and biscuits!). Plus it was very sunny, and now we’re in Spain, and both of those things make me happy! [ATTACH type="full" alt="BF8BFF3C-9850-4933-A5AE-3DAC768BCA2D.jpeg"]126421[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="BD99E00E-92AD-4198-8730-15EDBA4C9BF3.jpeg"]126422[/ATTACH] Verín marks the end of the CPI. I’ll try to provide a proper summary later (and answer the ranking questions!), but overall it was a great little camino and we’re glad to have done it. [URL='https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/sanabr%C3%A9s-from-ver%C3%ADn-may-june-2022.75136/']We now continue to Santiago on the Camino Sanabrés[/URL], beginning with an alternate route from Verín to Ourense. Thanks to everyone for following along! [/QUOTE]
