LIVE from the Camino Getting crowded on Camino Finisterre

2021
On the walk from Santiago to Negreira on Thursday I counted 52 pilgrims. My 7th time doing this walk and I don’t ever remember seeing more than 10 or 20 in any single day. Though the number is skewed by a group of 23 Spaniards. Also a first; never saw a group on this Camino. It quieted down on Day 2 to Olveiroa though the group ended up at Casa Loncho where we were staying in the Albergue Horrero.
Day 3 to A Grixe was even quieter as we took the fork to Muxia.

We came from Lago this morning and the group was still at Casa Loncho, doing stretches, when we passed by at 9:40am. We stopped for lunch at the picnic tables at Capela das Neves and a bit later they stopped there too, after their van/staff had arrived ahead of them to set up their lunch!
 
Well it’s one way to do a Camino. Better than not being here.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

"Albergue Horreo"... Seems like that would fit two people, max.

"Albergue Horreo" - I can remember my first camino de Finisterre 2007. At that time the public albergue (btw the only one at that time) offered Sport matresses for the two horreos at their premises for pilgrims willing to sleep there. Some A couple enjoyed their separate "room".
