After the early start, the headlamp was still needed for an hour to get out of the dark forest.
There were more Hórreos to see in the most diverse designs. The oldest was from 1893. On Monto do Gozo, there was already the first view of SdC. This is also symbolized by the bronze statues there.

As expected, the density of pilgrims increased considerably today, as the 3 Caminos are now united towards Santiago de Compostela. This was immediately noticeable when leaving Arzua.
In between, the Guardia Civil showed up repeatedly today, this time in the mounted and stamp-distributing variant.

A relaxed route with lots of forest and increasing pilgrim density, due to the addition of the Camino Frances.

The darkness disappeared with the first gentle incline. Today, the hollow paths through predominantly oak and eucalyptus forests returned. However, also enough asphalt again. But that's part of it too.
Upon arrival in Melide, the omnipresent octopus could be perceived. Various corresponding restaurants

In the light fog and before sunrise, the first crisp ascent was not long in coming. Besides beautiful sections through forest and hollow paths, a lot followed – too much for my taste – asphalt. Also partly with not inconsiderable vehicle traffic this time.
First refreshment stop after 18 km. You had to have come well prepared.

The place is left in the dark and a steep climb followed immediately to wake up. The mountain formations slowly emerged and the path took on a new face. Oak and eucalyptus forests alternated. Hollow paths were also present again. There was a great wax stamp for the pass along the way.

At dawn the place was left and shortly thereafter followed the already known beautiful hiking trail through mixed and oak forests, past pastures with a variety of cows etc.; it was particularly interesting to see how a group of cattle was led across the country road to pasture. Shortly before the day

Another day of experiences in the Cantabrian Mountains with ups and downs and increasing followers. A sunny and clear day with good and wide views.

It can be said that it was the most beautiful scenic hiking day to date. After starting from the hostel, we quickly left the village with headlamps and plunged into the darkness of the slowly fading night. After A Mesa and a good hour, it went uphill for a good 2-3 km – unfortunately on a country road

Today it went steeply up over the Puerto de Palo pass at 1140 m. There were a good number of altitude meters to overcome, but with every meter the view became more beautiful. The pass was unspectacular, but the view was overwhelming. Knowing the lack of supplies far and wide, the food truck set up at

Dived into the forest before sunrise and let the silence work. Today again, one could enjoy beautiful views of the pretty mountain world. From agriculture and animal husbandry, obviously only animal husbandry has remained in the rural Asturian region. Everywhere the bells of free-roaming cows can be

It was quite quick to get out of the small Salas and you could immerse yourself in a scenically beautiful route again.
The hollow paths through the oak forests once again characterized the scenery today. Some sections were damp and partly muddy due to the dense canopy of leaves.
Beyond that, impressive

The planned early start had to be postponed slightly due to a heavy thunderstorm with rain. Grado was nevertheless left before sunrise. The headlamp was still needed in the city, however. After a good half hour, one plunged back into an enchanting landscape. There were still some thunderstorm-like after

In the sleepy village of Nymfes, the interesting hike began through the olive groves that are ubiquitous on the island. These were nicely broken up by clusters of cypresses. For the general harvest starting in November, the ground nets had already been laid out over large areas, which occasionally restricted
