Time of past OR future Camino
2019
Just finished my Camino Portugués from Tui (International bridge):

! day Tui ----------- O Porriño 15 kms Hotel Parque
2 day O Porriño ---- Pontevedra 36 kms Hotel Avenida
3 day Pontevedra---- Caldas de Rei 21 kms Hotel Balneario Dávila (massage)
4 day Caldas----------Padrón 18 kms Hotel Ribera (pimentos, pulpo á feira)
5 day Padrón ------- Santiago 23 kms Hotel Lasalle (roof tour, pilgrim mass)

Everything was very good with the exception of a stupid race with a group of pilgrims including running I fell down and I still have bruises in my face. Never more races in my Caminos.
I met a Californian pilgrim girl about 25 who walked with 2 Portuguese boys who spoke a perfect Galician language with a perfect Galician accent. He told me she has been living in Galicia for only 4 years, She spoke so good that I changed from Galician to English to check she was lying about her Californian origin.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Congratulations! Except for the bruises, sounds like a great walk!

Next camino when?
My next short Camino next year ( si Dios quiere) will be Santiago ---Fisterra I don' have enough time for longer Caminos for family reasons.
I would like to mention that after my fall I was dirty and had blood
in my face and hands I asked in the first house that I found if I could wash my injuries They let me in to the bathroom on first floor with a very friendly attitude . Good people!!
 


I dont understand what you mean by stupid race with group of pilgrims.

Instead of cursing the place where you fell, you should seek out what it was that made you fall. A stupid race with pilgrims ????Thats a new one for me
 
From my experience sometimes there are races among pilgrims because competion is a fact in our world Are they good or bad? This could be a new thread.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
