[QUOTE="Umwandert, post: 1254136, member: 94324"] [B]Seventh Day: Now in San Vicente de Barquera[/B] After a great breakfast with the other pilgrims who had spent the night in the Aves de Paso albergue, I set off eastwards at 8.30am. The weather was excellent again today, 17 degrees, sunshine and a bit of wind – ideal walking conditions for me. The path initially led close to the coast with many beautiful views, then crossed the railway and went more inland. I didn't have to look at the app much because every few minutes a new pilgrim showed me where the path was. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_9387.jpeg"]169740[/ATTACH] I took a break around midday in Colombres, the last town in Asturias, and got a stamp from the town hall. Shortly after Unquera, I left the camino unnoticed and walked through an area with a petrol station and furniture shops, where I should have turned right beforehand. However, my app showed that I would soon reach the camino again. But only almost: suddenly I was almost 10 metres higher and there was a railway line between me and the camino. In the end, I made my way down a slope through thorny bushes and jumped from a height of almost 2 metres onto soft ground next to the tracks. My bagpack cushioned the impact. I lay on my back like a bug for a minute and thought: that wasn't very clever. I reached San Vicente at around 5pm. Count of the day: Day7: [B]Pendueles - San Vicente de Barquera: 125 pilgrims[/B] 125 pilgrims is a new record for me, at least for this year ([URL='https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/counting-pilgrims-on-the-norte.80904/#post-1143900']in 2023 I counted 148 on the stage from Morga to the Ziortza monastery[/URL] and [URL='https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/memorable-moments-on-the-norte-and-beyond-including-mishaps.76915/#post-1075938']in 2022 even 361 on the stage from A Pena to Santiago[/URL] on the Camino Fisterra-Muxia. From today I particularly remember: Pilgrim #2 had a guitar with him. Pilgrim #62 suddenly overtook me from behind shortly before Comillas. It was Yannick from Belgium, who was also in the albergue and was also walking in reverse along the Norte. However, we quickly parted company because he was walking faster and didn't want to take a break until later. A short time later, I saw pilgrim #74, a baby being carried by his father in a carrier bag. Pilgrim #108 was singing to himself the whole time. And pilgrim #123 was pulling her rucksack on wheels behind her. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_9474.jpeg"]169741[/ATTACH] I'm starting to feel the effects of all the walking on tarmac. Now I'm taking a rest day in the picturesque fishing village of San Vicente de Barquera and will walk to Santillana del Mar on Thursday. Stay tuned. [/QUOTE]
