Today, I thought it was going to be about 24 kilometres. It actually turned out to be 28. I made the very simple mistake of thinking that I had booked a hotel in Penasillas wherein in fact I had booked one 2 kilometres short of that village. So, arriving in the...

This was about 21 kilometres. I was starting just east of Penasillas after my little detour the day before and departed from the Hotel Vilaseco at about 8:30. Breakfast was at 8:00, so I thought I should probably get that before I go. It was a very pleasant walk for...

This was about 22 kilometres from Rodeiro into Lalin. No big hills to climb it was fairly undulating today. A few sort of 50 metre climbs here and there, some back roads, a lot of road walking and for some reason I just really lacked energy today. So, it took me a lot...

A very pleasant walk of 21 kilometres from Lalin to Bandeira. Today was interesting because the two caminos merge, that is the Camino Invierno, that I’ve been walking on, and the Camino Sanabres. On the Camino Sanabres you get a lot of people who have been...

Today was a 20 kilometre walk from Bandeira to just past Outeiro to a small place called Lestedo. I booked into a casa rural. It was a very good day, which was nice because it was my birthday today. And it started off well by a strange coincidence, I delayed my...

It’s the final day of the Camino coming into Santiago, just 14 kilometres today from Lestado into Santiago de Compostela. I wanted to get there nice and early because I had some people that I was meeting once I reach Santiago. And the lady in the hotel where I...

It’s a day 54 and this is very much a rest day, and I don’t know why it is, but every time I come into Santiago my legs decide that that’s it, they had enough, and suddenly I’m developing shin splints. But we have another six days walking to...

Day 1 of the Camino Finisterre (Day 55 of my journey) Today was the first day we walk to Finisterre / Fisterra. It was a really nice walk. Within about 15 minutes I was out of the city of Santiago walking on nice country roads. A fair proportion of the Camino today...

Day 2 on the Camino Finisterre / Fisterra. (Day 56 of my journey) Today was almost 21 kilometres from Negreira to Santa Mariña. I left fairly early out of Negreira as I didn’t want to arrive too late at my accommodation, which was Casa Pepa in Santa Mariña. They...

Day 3 on the Camino Finisterre / Fisterra. (Day 57 of my journey) A relatively short day today – 16 1/2 kilometres. The reason I did that was that it was either that or probably a very long stage of more than 30. And as I’m kind of winding down on my...

Day 4 on the Camino Finisterre / Fisterra. (Day 58 of my journey) Another short day – 15.7 kilometres. In fact, it turned out to be eighteen. My biggest concern today was keeping my knees in one piece to make sure that not only could I get to Fisterra, but also...

Day 5 on the Camino Finisterre / Fisterra. (Day 59 of my journey) Today was Corcubion to Finisterre (Fisterra in the local language). Not a huge day. Another short day of only about 11 kilometres into Fisterra and then it was a 6 kilometre round trip up to the...
