It was a long and tough one today due to no stops between Hospital and Cee. We truly were in the wilderness for most of the journey. We weren’t the first out of the albergue for a change, two peregrinos were out before 0600h! We set off around 0640h, ascending in the dark on theContinue reading “Camino de Fisterra Day 4 – Olveiroa to Corcubion”

Camino de Fisterra Day 3 – Santa Marina to Olveiroa
After two long days in the Sun, I had promised my mum this would be a short day, and I delivered; a 12.5km stroll. We were the first out of the albergue, way before 0700h. There was no mist this morning and the stars watched us from above. If it hadn’t been for the fullContinue reading “Camino de Fisterra Day 3 – Santa Marina to Olveiroa”
Camino de Fisterra Day 2 – Negreira to Santa Marina
It was another toughie with the heat and the ascent for the most of the first 10km for breakfast. We set off before 0700h to beat the heat and it was very misty, which hindered the drying of our clothes; we spent a bit of time attaching our undergarments to our bags before setting off.Continue reading “Camino de Fisterra Day 2 – Negreira to Santa Marina”

Mini Camino Frances Day 7 – O Pedrouzo to Lavacolla
It was a very short walk today in comparison to our previous days, in fact we spent more time in a bar than walking!

HoweverContinue reading “Mini Camino Frances Day 7 – O Pedrouzo to Lavacolla”

Despite it being almost 20km today we made good time and arrived in O Pedrouzo mid afternoon on another hot day.

It was a small descent out of Arzua through woodland beforeContinue reading “Mini Camino Frances Day 6 – Arzua to O Pedrouzo”
Mini Camino Frances Day 5 – Melide to Arzua
It was cold again leaving the albergue but as soon as we were in the Sun, it certainly warmed up. Turned out to be the hottest day so far.

Mini Camino Frances Day 4 – Palas de Rei to Melide
The rain had finally abated and the skies were clear for the first time on our walk, however it was 8 Celsius, in other words, cold.

Palas de Rei being a stageContinue reading “Mini Camino Frances Day 4 – Palas de Rei to Melide”
Mini Camino Frances Day 3 – Ventas de Naron to Palas de Rei
A lot shorter day however there was more rain. It had poured throughout the night but by breakfast there was a temporary reprieve. We decided to eat breakfast at the albergue before beginning the walking. The clouds still loomed overhead as we made our way into Ligonde where we called into a donativo. It isContinue reading “Mini Camino Frances Day 3 – Ventas de Naron to Palas de Rei”
Mini Camino Frances Day 2 – Vilacha to Ventas de Naron
A shorter day was on the cards so we had a lie in, leaving the albergue at 0800h. It had rained heavily with strong gusts of winds throughout the night, luckily it had cleared mostly by dawn.
