Hey Schorsch,



if you have even half the weather we have, then you had the most perfect hiking weather anyone could wish for today.



I hope you had a great time.



Best regards 👋

Unfortunately, I didn't write anything yesterday because I was still at church (mass) and went back to my accommodation later. I was also very tired and worn out from the last few days.

I started my journey on March 3rd (Shrove Monday). I had a strong will, but I quickly realized it wouldn't be as easy

This morning, when I set out, it was very hazy and foggy. The weather didn't change until late morning. I gave it my all again today, and my feet are burning like hell. I took a break in Melide and ate the polbo á feira (octopus) that so many people had recommended. Since I like seafood, it was an experience

Unfortunately, the route was very hilly again today. I've had enough of the ups and downs.

The sun was also very grueling today, but it was still beautiful, and I managed over 40 km again. Today I went from Triacastela via Sarria to Portomarin. From Sarria, you have to walk all the way to Santiago to

Since, according to my hospitalero, it was supposed to be almost 40 degrees today, I set off shortly after 4:00 a.m. The reason for this was the upcoming stage, which climbed from 570 m to 1340 m. And 7 km of uphill is simply brutally exhausting!!

I wanted to finish before it got really hot.

As you can

Unfortunately, I couldn't leave early today because the albergue doors didn't open until 6 a.m. Although I've walked many kilometers over the last two days, my feet are feeling very good. Today's tour went from Ponferrada via Villafranca del Bierzo to Trabadelo. I would have liked to walk to O Cebreiro

Today I set off again at 5 a.m. From Astorga via Foncebadon to Ponferrada. Two stages in one go.

Yesterday, and especially today, I pushed myself to my limits.

Yesterday, it was still manageable because it was very flat and I made very fast progress. The only downside was that the route ran along a highway

This is yesterday's hike.

When I arrived in Astorga, I only did a little sightseeing. I really like this city, too.

Unfortunately, I was so exhausted from the long hike that I fell asleep immediately after showering and couldn't write anything.

Yesterday I walked from El Burgo Ranero to León.

Even though it was 40 km, the walk was very beautiful and felt like it went by very quickly. When I arrived in León, I was overwhelmed by the city. What a beautiful city. I haven't seen Madrid yet, but of all the Spanish cities, León is number one so far

Today, I also set off at 5:30 a.m. I had already completed the 33 km by 12 p.m. It was another very beautiful hike. When I arrived in Sahagún, I went to the monastery church. I arrived at exactly the right time, as the nuns had just started mass.

I then decided to participate. Even though I didn't understand
