Today's leg takes us to Galicia. That's always a special occasion. We're given a proper welcome with rain showers. But we're also hiking through burned areas. Vast landscapes were devastated by fire this summer. The public hostel in A Gudiña is very nice and spacious. Highly recommended.

It's bitterly cold in the morning, and we set off well-wrapped. The stage leads through Puebla de Sanabia, with its historic castle in the old town center. The paths are pleasantly soft in places and lead through "green tunnels." At the end, however, we also walk a few kilometers on the national highway

A rather unspectacular stage, initially close to the main road. Today we're meeting up with friends from Salamanca, who are hiking towards us on this stage. There's a lot to talk about, and in Asturianos we make it to a restaurant in time. We take a drive to Lago de Sanabria.

Another beautiful autumn stage with vibrant colors and pleasant paths. It's raining a little, and we're looking forward to escaping to a bar in the next village. Unfortunately, it's closed. Instead, we meet a Spanish senior who opens a hermitage for us that's currently being renovated. He worked in Germany

A stage to enjoy: It's only 24 km to Santa Clara. We hike through the autumnal landscape in sunshine. The wind takes a break today, leaving us alone.

In the morning, we decide to make a slight change to the stage. We take a shortcut cross-country, avoiding the section along the highway and two towns. The Camimo splits into sections on this stage: the Via de la Plata continues north to Astorga, while the Camino Sanabés heads northwest via Ourense

A windy stage through nowhere. Or as Sasha says: Not even a cow or a blade of grass is in sight. But we meet Wim. These two photos are his. The Donativo Hostel in Fontanillas is great. Very clean and well-maintained, and we share dinner together.

The route to Zamora was challenging. A cold wind blew constantly, and there were no places to stop for refreshments along the route. Tired, we reached the public hostel. It's a well-maintained and beautiful Donativo hostel in the old town. The volunteer hospitaleros cook dinner and prepare breakfast

After 2021, I'll be returning to the Via de la Plata. However, I'll be skipping the dusty and, even in October, hot stages from Seville in Andalusia and Extremadura and starting in Salamanca. Here I'll meet Sasha, who's walking the entire route from Seville. We'll spend the night at the Albergue Municipal

We hiked the first few kilometers of the stage through thick fog. Finally, a few gaps appeared, revealing the green mountain landscape. Despite a few showers, it was a very beautiful stage. Also my last on this Camino. Since I have to start my journey home from Santiago on Saturday, we took the bus to
