The last 5 miles! 187 miles for the whole journey, and about 2,800 miles that we’ve hiked throughout Europe in the last 11 years.
We left our B&B Hotel after an excellent and free breakfast!
Actually, that hotel may have been the best accommodation that we’ve had this whole trip! The price was inexpensive, the accommodations, excellent, and pretty much free everything from there. Yes, we’d definitely stay there again!
With just a few miles (and way markers) to go,
We were soon in Santiago!
What a moment! This was actually the 3rd time one of our Caminos ended in Santiago. It is special.
It is also changing. These days, nearly every street in the old town is packed with us Pilgrims with backpacks. Thousands of them. I’m honestly not sure that this is sustainable.
That won’t be our problem, though. This is likely our last journey through this city.
All for now. Buen Camino.
OMG! You made it! All wonderful to see the two of you in front of the cathedral and now what? Where to next? Love you both.
Hola Willow! Yes, it was good! We almost immediately met a German couple that had been walking from their home in Germany to Santiago. So many stories!
Next up is a visit to Southern Portugal to spend a week with Barb and Michael who are there for an extended time. It’ll be both fun and warm!
