Portuguese 2022
Started from Valenca on Wednesday, stayed overnight in Tui so just finished our second full day in Redondela. Walking with 2 friends and been looking forward to this for so long. It’s been better than my highest expectations, we’ve seen many other pilgrims and loved them and all the locals calling Buen Camino. Weather is glorious and we have had fabulous food and wine. Getting as many stamps as we can has become a hobby. Was blown away by the views coming down into Saxamonde. Feel we have been here forever but also that it’s going too fast.

This walk will pass quickly but the Camino stays. I have walked Caminos every year since 2008 (except during lockdown year) I walk again in September. It will become part of you, let the Camino embrace you and you will return....again and again...Buen Camino,
