Day 13 Santa Cruz de Bezana to Requejada +-21km’s

We got up around 5ish as we thought a 27km day was upon us but that was not to be. I was delighted only doing 21km’s as I’m really tired at the moment.

There were thunder showers around and I was wondering if we could avoid them. My only concern was hail. The climate here is like Johannesburg in summer.

We walked from Santa Cruz de Bezana to Mompía and managed to see a beautiful sunrise. The walk through Boo was beautiful and as for the rest it was pretty much boring road. We checked in at the Albergue de Peregrinos Clara Camp. Sadly it’s not maintained properly.

Fisterra/Muxía Day 4 Hospital to Fisterra +-14km’s

Image
The morning started with rain. We walked from the Albergue to the bar, an instant soaking. Many Pilgrims stopped at the O Casteliño bar as it’s the last bar for 15km’s. The rain continued and we decided to avoid the 300 metre drop to the town of Cee and opted for a taxi for 6 people. We were dropped off at Cee and enjoyed some coffee before setting off in the rain to complete the last 14 km’s to Fisterra. A wet morning in Hospital. Balu from Hungary and Robert in Corcubión Neria. The gloomy view. We were hoping for sunshine. Door of the day. Some forest walking. Wet wet and more wet. The trail to Fisterra. The visit to the 0km mark and Lighthouse.

Day 2 San Sebastián to Orio +-18km’s

Image
We left San Sebastián at 7:15am. The weather was typical of Northern Spain, lots of rain about. Somehow we avoided most of it. A miracle in my opinion. My arm needed to remain dry, a real blessing. The route took us approximately 6.8km’s from San Sebastián to Igueldo. As we got to the end of La Concho beach we found a hotel that served coffee and breakfast. It was time to cover the backpacks as it started drizzling. The climb up to Igueldo was not a bad one, we managed to have fantastic ocean views despite the grey skies. I struggled with the GoPro attachment on my backpack but I guess Johann can work with some of the footage. From Igueldo we walked another 10km’s to Orio and checked in at Albergue De Peregrinos for the night. It took us ages walking through the mud and some steep downhills on smooth stones. I’m over cautious on the downhills at the moment. A few random pics on the route. Good Morning Selfie. San Sebastián early morning. Jane and I leaving San Sebastián. I was m...
