The end of this journey, the last day just travelling back to Barril de Alva. I left the Albergue before 09:00. 20 minutes walk to Santiago Bus Terminal. At the bus terminal I had a coffee and croissant. I met Gerrit and Sandra there, they are […]
Buen Camino – 18 km – Santiago de Compostella What an amazing day. After this strange experience in the Albergue in Cruces, I was happy to start the walk. Olaf left just before me, direction Porto. Deepak and Maria were still preparing. I was in nature, […]
Buen Camino – 26 km – Cruces When I had dinner yesterday with the Czech people we talked about to meet at 07:15 in the café down the road. I was there, I was the first guest in the café. Gerrit and Sandra came in and […]
Buen Camino – 21 km – Caldas de Reis I left the Albergue in Pontevedra at 07:30. The town looked a bit messy this morning, there were still drunk people on the road, Saturday night, alcohol night. I met Martina, the Czech woman I walked with […]
Buen Camino – 20 km – Pontevedra I woke up around 06:00 and some people started packing. It was actually not more raining. So what to do? I wasn’t in the mood to stay one more night in Redondela. So I got up, packed my things […]
Buen Camino – 16 km – Redondela Always quite a stretch before I am out of the city. I walked again with Gerrit today, his foot got better. Last night I realised that I couldn’t find the case from my In-Ear-Headphones. I need it to charge […]
Buen Camino – 33 km – Vigo We had a good start in the morning, Gerrit, Alexandro and me. Alexandro is a bit older and walking quite slow, so Gerrit and me walked together for a while. We decided to walk the coastal route which is […]
Buen Camino – 23 km – Mougás This is an easy day. My blisters are much better to walk with today. It was a bit cloudy this morning until noon, good not having the burning sun always in the neck. The days before it was always […]
Buen Camino – 23 km – A Guarda Wow, slowly the spirit is changing. It might be me or I am meeting the right people. When I left Albergue Casa do Sardão I was one of last leaving this morning. After a while in the forest […]
Bom Caminho – 16 km – Carreço It was a beautiful stay in Casa Carolina. I decided to walk less kilometres in one day, better for my feet and more time to rest or talk to people. It was a good decision yesterday not to walk […]
Bom Caminho – 23 km – Anha Another day starts for me. My plan is to reach Viana do Costelo in 27 km, but I will not get there. The ball of my feet are already getting hot, not too bad, but enough to walk carefully. […]
Bom Caminho – 21 km – Fão This day started completely different. OK, my legs were still tired and my feet need some more exercise. Soon I reached the ocean and for hours there were wooden walkways. My mood changed and I felt somehow much better. […]
Bom Caminho – 29 km – Vila do Conde Not an easy day. The host from Albergue Senora da Hora was suggesting to drive by Metro to Matosinhos. This is close to the ocean and maybe I should have walked just along the ocean. Now I […]
It is nearly one year ago that I was walking the Camino Francés. Today I am starting from Barril de Alva, driving to the train station in Santa Comba Dâo. I will leave my van there. The trail is still under construction, since more then two […]
