Our last full day on the Camino, one more push tomorrow and then back to Santander.
Spent the night at villapalatin hostel, a dorm with 8 bunk beds. Always strange sleeping with strangers but all good apart from some noisy neighbours.
There was a rally going through Grado as we set out.
A big hill almost

Day 5, the mental endurance element of the walk is kicking in proper now, not taken many notes today as busy keeping going, very noisy neighbours in the hotel last night.
A shorter walk, just over 10 miles (Forgot to turn on Komoot for the first mile 😭).
Straight up into the hills today, was gorgeous

First trip to the Laundrette last night, 2 alcoholics were having an intense discussion, you can never tell in Spain if it's an argument as people seem to speak very emphatically all the time. I got the hell out of there without waiting for the clothes to fully dry. A laundry is a Godsend on the Camino

A cold grey start, spitting rain in Colunga as we left the hotel
Stopped at a local cafe and had a delicious Egg chorizo Pincho and a coffee for breakfast. The coffee got things going finally, and I had to strike whilst the iron was brown. Some beautiful parts of the walk today, especially the rolling

So here we are again, back on the Camino for our second year. Weather was glorious, got up to 23 degrees, but we had set off early. Stopped at a roadside bakers and grabbed fresh croissants, so Spanish. The sounds of mad birdsong and Cowbells, and we are back on the way of St James. Interesting building

So then, sitting in a hotel bar at the end of our Camino adventure. Wondering what I learned in the last hard six days, but I reckon that will take a little thought, the Camino is one of those things you'll reflect on for weeks/months after. I would say it's been hard, but having met people that have

Only just getting over deleting my Camino day 2 walk. I love Komoot but they have to sort it out, all that walking and it's gone!
On to today. A fun day, we walked across a nudist beach (unknowingly), the biggest piece of grafitti art I've ever seen, and I managed to get a whack off an electric cow fence

Day 3 finds you out. Gone is the youthful optimism of yesterday. This was a hard day. Made harder by an Ill-advised decision to have a midday beer. However there were highlights, we started to get into the foothills proper, the scenery today was spectacular. Another highlight, the pilgrims tradition

I accidentally deleted my original walk so lost the likes n stuff, but have rebuilt this walk from Google maps location data so only thing inaccurate about the walk is the timings but at least I don't have a gap now.

What a cracking first day on the Camino. On arrival went to the beautiful Santander Cathedral to pick up our Pilgrim Passports, and off we went. Some lovely scenery but I rated 4 stars because there was a bit too much busy roads. Tomorrow we will get into the countryside proper. Nevertheless, day one
