What a finale
Just a quick post – full write up later. I wanted to share that I reached Santiago today at 12:44. I walked straight into the cathedral and was enexpectdly allowed in with my backpack. The pilgrims’ mass was coming to … Continue reading
day 25, Redondela to Portela, 33.6 km
26 May 2014 Total distance walked 610.5 km Average daily distance 24.42 km The albergue in Redondela is packed. The guide says there are 42 beds but I am sure they have squeezed a few more in since Brierly visited … Continue reading
day 24, Tui to Redondela 36.4 km
25 May 2014 Total distance walked 576.9 km Average daily distance 24.04 km I just want to revive yeaterday’s rant. The Tui municipal albergue is a fantastic facility. A beautifully renovated ancient building, no expense spared on high quality materials, … Continue reading

24 May 2014 Total distance walked 540.5 km Average daily distance 23.50 km I’m quite afronted as I write this, but I shall explain why later. I slept a very comfortable night at albergue Ninho in Rubiães. I felt a … Continue reading

Day 20, Vilarinho to Pedra Furada, 23.5 km
21 May 2014 This morning I resisted the urge to get up on waking – not too hard as I could hear the rain belting down outside. The Australians James and Fitz, were up first and left about 6 am. … Continue reading
day 19, Porto to Vilarinho, 28 km
I was awake early so quietly got myself ready and crept out of the room, leaving Elly asleep. As forecast, I could hear that it was raining so fitted my home made (well, not exactly home-made, but home ‘adjusted’) backpack … Continue reading
Day 18, Grijó to Porto, 17 km
19 May 2014 This morning began just as strangely as last night ended. I had mentioned to the young woman carer that we would like to leave between 6:30-7:00 am and she said she would tell her colleague to open … Continue reading
day 17, Oliveira de Azeméis to Grijó, 32.25 km
After posting my blog yesterday I continued to wander the streets of Oliveira de Azeméis. It was a lovely afternoon and evening. All the savoury food available involved pork, either spit roasted or braised in oil. There were also many … Continue reading
day 16, Albergaria a Velha to Oliveira de Azeméis, 22 km
Albergaria rose in my estimation when wandering around the town in the evening we discovered it was hosting a national bread festival. The “Festival pão de Portugal” consisted of many stalls of artisan bread, and of course cakes, and some … Continue reading
day 15, Águeda to Albergaria a Velha, 16.5 km
The day didn’t start too well. There were eight of us staying at the albergue. When I arose I could see that the bathroom in the accommodation was in use so I went outside to use the facilities off the … Continue reading
day 14, Mealhada to Águeda, 26.75 km
15 May 2014 Today was a hot one. When we left the albergue at 6:30 am it was warm, with little breeze. And it just got hotter and hotter throughout the day, until I guess it reached mid thirties. We … Continue reading
day 13, Coimbra to Mealhada 28.8 km
14 May 2014 I reported yesterday that our room was in a great situation with views out over the river and the lively street below. I think I also mentioned that Coimbra is a university town, the students’ attire is … Continue reading
