39. Sigüeiro to Santiago de Compostela
Our last day on the Camino de Santiago.
Another nice day: not hot, and cloudy.
Since we were staying at an apartment, I made nice breakfast: avocado and fried eggs on toast. Galician breakfast would be either tortilla, toast with crushed tomatoes, or a piece of cake. Yes, a piece…

38. O Mesón do Vento to Sigüeiro
Another sunny autumn day.
It was a nice walk along the rural Galician villages and through the forests.
As we get closer to Santiago, the steps get lighter and faster: not necessarily, due to lighter backpacks (less snacks), but surely due to the feeling of accomplishment of our current adventure.…

37. Betanzos to O Mesón do Vento
Sunny all day long.
Betanzos oldtown could've been kept better. There are so many ramshackle houses. Although the alleys are clean and cute, many shops have closed down.
After yesterday's rain the temperature dropped to 12 degrees this morning. I put my fleece on for the first time on this…

36. Pontedeume to Betanzos
First half: cloudy, second half: rainy.
Autumn is creeping into Galicia, too. There was a thick fog down in the valley before the sunrise.
Many more bars and cafés are open: sometimes far away from a town, but on the Camino trail for pilgrims!
Galicia is very green, not like…

35. Xubia to Pontedeume
Sunny first, then cloudy from 11 am.
From today we are following the Camino Inglés, which is more established, better way-marked, and therefore more services! Last eight days we were on the Camino Del Mar and it wasn't always easy to find food.
The stone waymarks have countdown distance to…

34. San Andrés de Teixido to Xubia
Sunny.
It was a long strenuous day: not only the length and elevation gain, but also the monotonous landscape and the extended walk on the paved road.
After 10 minutes of the walk we saw that the narrow paths with dry-stone walls on both sides were blocked by six horses…

33. Ortigueira to San Andrés de Teixido
Cloudy in the morning, rainy in the afternoon.
We noticed that many of restaurants, bars and cafés along the coast have gone to the hibernation for winter.
Today we didn't have any opportunity for a coffee break as the only café that was supposed to be open according to Google…

32. O Vicedo to Ortigueira
Drizzling in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon.
As we go further west, the sun rises later. This morning it was 8:29, which means we can start walking after that. In the cities it wouldn't be a problem with all those streetlamps, but here we wouldn't want to walk in…

31. Viveiro to O Vicedo
Cloudy.
It was a lovely walk in the eucalyptus forests along the coast like last some days. There were so many cute beaches between the headlands, and at almost every beach there were some campervans. The north coast is not only surfers' paradise, but also campers'.
We saw the most…

30. San Cibrao to Viveiro
Clear in the morning, drizzling in the afternoon.
San Cibrao wasn't a big town, but had still many restaurants and bars. There was an Italian couple staying at the same hostel: they are walking the Camino for the 13th time! They are definitely addicted to the Camino. We've met some…

29. Foz to San Cibrao
Cloudy all day.
There were two huge thunderstorms coming from the Southwest covering pretty much all of the north Spain. Miraculously we missed both of them and stayed dry! Only my hair was a mess.
Today's walk was easy to navigate: the ocean on the right side and the land…

28. Barreiros to Foz
Very cloudy in the morning and clearer in the afternoon.
I was so glad that it was going to be an easy day today as I wasn't feeling super well.
The paths went through eucalyptus forests and along the huge estuary, la Ría de Foz.

27. Ribadeo to Barreiros
What a lovely day!
A short distance, cloudy, not much on paved paths, amazing views, and lunch at lunchtime.
Praia das Catedrais was the highlight of the day. It's apparently one of the most famous beaches in Spain. At low tide, it's possible to walk around the cathedral looking rock…

26. Navia to Ribadeo
A long day, very sunny in the morning and cloudy in the late afternoon.
Today, we walked long on paved paths: on minor roads, bicycle paths, or pavement. Even though my shoes have very good cushioning, my flat feet start feeling it.
We crossed the bridge over La Ría de…

25. Luarca to Navia
Another easy day on a warm sunny day (without any coastal detours!).
Like many other days, today's route went through the eucalyptus forests. There are tons of eucalyptus trees here: imported from Australia as early as in the late 19th century. They provide timber and pulp for paper production.
