Day 31, 16 May 2013, Negreira to Maroñas, 20 km
The day started grey and continued that way until it turned black and started to rain. We ignored it for half an hour or so, until it couldn’t be ignored any more and we stopped to put on our rain … Continue reading
Day 30, 15 May 2013, Santiago de Compostela to Negreira, 21 km
The day started dull but dry, but this state of affairs didn’t last long and before we had passed through the cathedral square I was stopping to put on my raincoat. We were very quickly out of the city and … Continue reading
Day 29, 14 May 2013, Arca do Pino to Santiago de Compostela, 20 km
We set off fairly early and were soon walking through eucalyptus woods on nice soft earth. After a breakfast break we continued up and down several steep hills and eventually skirted the airport and were buzzed by a very low … Continue reading
Day 28, 13 May 2013, Arzúa to Arca do Pino, 20 km
After retiring early to catch up on my sleep, suddenly the albergue was invaded by a huge party of bag taxi-ing ‘pilgrims’. The dormitory was in two sections and all of the section that I was in had settled down … Continue reading
Day 27, 12 May 2013, Palas de Rei to Arzúa, 30 km
This will be a very short post because I am really tired and I need to try to get a decent sleep tonight. We left the very nice albergue this morning, walked through woodland for an hour and a half … Continue reading
Day 26, 11 May 2013, Ferreiros to Palas de Rei, 33 km
I was very glad to leave the albergue this morning. Definitely not a shining example, although the kind hospitalera found me a bottom bunk to sleep in. Bottom bunks are obviously easier to get into, but I am always a … Continue reading
Day 25, 10 May 2013, Triacastela to Ferreiros, 32.5 km
We had a good hearty meal last night of lentil and vegetable soup (I could easily have stood the spoon upright in the middle of the bowl, it was so thick) followed by home made tiramisu. We were joined at … Continue reading
Day 24, 9 May 2013, La Laguna de Castilla to Triacastela, 26 km
I awoke with no aches today. My knee had behaved yesterday but my right hip was a bit uncomfortable. Nothing a couple of painkillers could not deal with. Today though I decided to go drug-free. In addition I had not … Continue reading
Day 23, 8 May 2013, Villafranca del Bierzo to La Laguna de Castilla, 26 km
The day started badly. Firstly it was raining, only softly, but enough to warrant a raincoat. Ella was suffering badly with her poorly feet and the going was extremely slow. We set off on the road, alongside a river and … Continue reading
Day 22, 7 May 2013, Molinaseca to Villafranca del Bierzo, 31 km
Today started grey and stayed that way. The first section of the walk was to the large town of Ponferrada, 8 km from our start point and all on road, albeit on very quiet roads with almost no traffic. But … Continue reading
Day 21 extra, Cruz de Ferro
This was an important day for me – crucial to my camino. The Iron Cross is where pilgrims have traditionally left a stone from their homeland or one picked up along their camino. But more recently it has become a … Continue reading
Day 21, 6 May 2013, Santa Catalina de Samoza to Molinaseca, 37 km
Today I started walking alone. I wanted to get away, but Ella was still in the bathroom and in no rush, so I told her to catch me up. The sun was rising as I left the village, it was … Continue reading
Day 20, 5 May 2013, Hospital de Órbigo to Santa Catalina de Samoza, 25 km
This morning was bright and not too cold. We walked across country through farmland (with cows) to the next village. We came across an Irish woman who had been staying in the same albergue as us for a couple of … Continue reading
Day 19, 4 May 2013, Virgen del Camino to Hospital de Órbigo, 27 km
It was much warmer today when we set off, a bit earlier than recently. No need to put on my jacket. The day was quite hazy, but with a clear pale blue sky. We had options – either a track … Continue reading

Day 18, 3 May 2013, Puente Villarente to Virgen del Camino, 22 km
Another late start this morning. No one in our dormitory got up until about 7:30 am which is very late. I was already up but was able to take my time to pack up and get started. The forecast said … Continue reading
