Sunday, 19 May 2024Silleda to Ponte Ulla22 kilometers Today was the first day in what seems like a long time with no rain of significance. And tomorrow is expected to be even better as we will be on our final day on this pilgrimage walk to Santiago de Compostela. Walking today was about half and half paved secondary roads and natural paths. There were beautiful vistas all along the way including this as we were […]
Friday, 17 May 2024Cea to Estación de Lalín32.4 kilometers Today was a very long day. And it rained or was drizzling almost all day. The rain was relentless and unseasonable for May in Galicia. Also, the day was pretty cool with the high temperature in the high 50s Fahrenheit. Despite the rain and the cool (almost cold) temperatures, the scenery was continually beautiful. From the map, it can be seen that we are on a […]
Thursday, 16 May 2024Ourense to Cea23.2 kilometers Today was another cool and rainy day on the Camino de Santiago. We left Ourense at about 8:20 AM. Ron is having some difficulty with his knee, so he is taking a rest day and will take the bus to meet us at Cea, our destination today. In spite of the off-and-on rain, it was another beautiful day in Galicia, the northwestern most part of Spain. After walking […]

A long, steep, unstable climb up, a bit of a rolling section at the top, then a steep but less unstable path down to Vilar de Barrio. It was a cloudy day, threatening rain from the outset, and the rain did come […]
Friday, 10 May 2024 Vilavella to A Gudiña 14.2 kilometers Today we started in Lubián, the last town in Castille Y León. We will be in Galicia from today until ending our pilgrimage walk in Santiago de Compostela. Because of the very long, tiring, and frustrating day yesterday, we decided to forego the long uphill climb after leaving Lubián, instead, taking a taxi to Vilavella. Starting there, the day’s walk will be about 14.2 kilometers […]
