Palas de Rei – Arzua 26km Well today I was dreading, my feet were aching and I had to do 26km. Yesterday I used my old Hokas for the last 10km and felt great in them with my old blisters all healed up. So I took a chance and put them on to see ifContinue reading “Arzua”

Portomarin – Palais De Rei 25km Got up early and got out of town about 7:15am. I liked Portomarin. A nice little town with lots of restaurants and albergues. But the mission is on to finish in Santiago on the tenth of June. It was pouring outside for the first two hours of walking. IContinue reading “Palais De Rei”

Sarria – Portomarín 23km Didn’t get much sleep last night due to some lanky American dude getting up at 5am to do 2 hours of yoga and grunting like a tortured pig. You got 23km to walk today brutha take it fuckin’ easy!! Got started the walk and had a bit of a climb inContinue reading “Portomarín”

Triacastela – Sarria 19km After last nights little session, I was a little tired in the morning. My accommodation last night was so cosy. Like a little cave and I didn’t want to get up out of the comfy bed. But I did, about an hour later than I usually got up. I said byeContinue reading “Sarria”

Laguna De Castilla – Triacastella 24km. Today I woke up about 6:30 am and everyone in my dorm was getting ready to go. I lay there for another half hour til most of them had cleared. Got a bite of breakfast in the cafe downstairs and set off on the 24km trek to the topContinue reading “Triacastela”

Villafranca Del Bierza – Laguna De Castilla 26km Back on my feet again today and feeling much better. First 3km were hard for me but after that the motor kicked in and I was cruising along. Much of the way today was along roadside so not a lot to see, but I did catch someContinue reading “Laguna De Castilla”

Molinaseca – Villafranca Del Bierzo 30km Well I didn’t walk 30km today. In fact I barely walked at all. I woke up and got my gear all packed up and put my shoes on. Deep down I knew something wasn’t right. My legs were a bit jelly like and were not going to take meContinue reading “Villafranca Del Bierzo”

Rabanal Del Camino – Molinaseca 25km I’m writing today’s update with a full bottle of vino tinto in me. It was a hard day and my feet are still aching, despite massaging them with massage cream and a massage ball. Hopefully they will be alright by the morning for another 30km walk to Villafranca DelContinue reading “Molinaseca”

Astorga – Rabanal Del Camino 21km Step by step, town by town, crushing the km down and down. Roughly 237km to Santiago. 💪🏻 An early 7am start today again to get the km done before the sun starts melting me. Quite a walk out of Astorga but not as bad as Pamplona or Logroño. ThisContinue reading “Rabanal Del Camino”

Hospital De Órbigo – Astorga 18km I got up and got out the door at 7am this morning to get into Astorga early – well before the Spanish all went for their siesta. I wanted to get a new pair of walking shoes for the rest of this journey. No breakfast available at that timeContinue reading “Astorga”
