⛰️Challenges: the rain, the wind…. Getting there! ✨Highlights: honestly, whenever the sun came out, reaching the accommodation at the end of each day and getting to Santiago and finally having a little bit of sunshine! It’s a good short camino, very manageable, gives a great idea of what a longer camino would be like. A great first camino.

⭐️ Highlights of the Day: the sun coming out, reaching Santiago, getting the certificate (no queue), lunch in the sun ⛰️ Challenges Faced: none ✍️ Reflections / Pilgrim Thoughts: nice to have finished with good weather! Only the Camino del Norte left to do!

⭐️ Highlights of the Day: the sun coming out. Avoiding walking via the motorway. Making great time & progress. ⛰️ Challenges Faced: shins were starting to hurt from all the concrete walking. ✍️ Reflections / Pilgrim Thoughts: less than 16k to go. So glad the sun came out today. It really did improve my mood by about a 1000%

⭐️ Highlights of the Day: getting collected and taken to the hotel. Occasionally getting to walk without the umbrellas. ⛰️ Challenges Faced: the concrete is super hard on your feet & legs. Due to the rain, I didn’t take any photos. This is the only one I’ve got from the little bit of sunshine that we had. ✍️ Reflections / Pilgrim Thoughts: What lovely weather in Spain! Where is the sun - I need sun!!!!!!

⭐️ Highlights of the Day: having an umbrella, lying in bed watching Netflix and eating chocolate ⛰️ Challenges Faced: the non stop rain ✍️ Reflections / Pilgrim Thoughts: none - brain is dead

Nice to be outside again, the weather though… not going to lie - was a struggle. Great to cross the bridge & get into town. Having a hot shower and getting clothes dry.

It was sunny in Madrid at the train station and I got to sit for 10 mins in the sun before catching another train. Getting the pilgrims passport sorted and organising breakfast tomorrow. Finally reaching Ferrol!
