Any comments on this pilgrim's report back? Anyone else find misleading signage between Puebla and Requejo?
We set out from Puebla de Sanabria to walk to Compostella leaving Puebla on June 26, arriving at Compostella on July 13. As you can see, we were in no hurry. At that time, she was 77 and I was 68, so you can see that we aren't spring chickens. However I must tell you that there is a problem of a [deliberate? ] misdirection between Puebla and Requejo.
I can't say that it was enjoyable as such; it was very hard work. Galicia, as you must know, is very hilly and June/July is hot. One part of the walk that was enjoyable was, given the fact that we have excellent Spanish, the ability to interact with the locals.
Suffice to say that we felt a great feeling of accomplishment when we arrived at the San Lazaro albergue in Compostella.
