Camino Frances day 32: Lires to Muxia (15,26km) – THE END
Finito, lõpp, konec, loppu, beigas, capăt. 900km journey from the Pyrenees in France to the ocean at the west end of Spain. It all went a lot faster than I had expected. A month is still quite a long time. The next few days we will go to the top of this hill by the…

Camino Frances day 31: Fisterra to Lires (14,90km)
Slowly moving back to Muxia. Tomorrow is another walk just as short and then I am done. My body really feels like I have had quite enough. Need to take some time off for rest & recovery. I did all this short distance without major breaks, but walking speed did start to drop quite a…

Camino Frances day 30: Fisterra to Faro de Finisterre (6,6km)
Yes, I did take a bus from Muxia. I will spend the next 2 days hiking back to Muxia. Not a single kilometer of trail will be skipped in the end. Very pleased to have made it here. For me, it is not a proper Camino if I do not get to see the final…

Camino Frances day 29: Dumbria to Muxia (22,04km)
Quite a short walking day. Like all the days since Santiago, it is mostly on hard road surfaces and that gives more shock and micro-injuries to feet. Today was the first time I had felt like it was time I finished with hiking and took proper rest days. Tomorrow there should be a 33km hike,…

Camino Frances day 28: Santa Mariña to Dumbría (22,43km)
Fourth week on the Camino complete. This time 206km travelled in the last seven days. Not much left to go until I am finished. Today was the section where people who go straight to Finisterre split from those who visit Muxia. Suprisingly, the albergue in Dumbría is full. Usually there should be only 5 pilgrims…

Camino Frances day 27: Negreira to Santa Mariña (21,28km)
I started hiking extra late today to make sure there is plenty of sunlight. Nature is now quite actively making changes and it is a delight to see. I even took the alternative route by tiny rivers in the morning. Have never been there before because it adds a bit of daily distance. Afterwards, some…

Camino Frances day 26: Santiago de Compostela to Negreira (20,47km)
Yes, I am still going onwards. This was probably the coldest day on the Camino. The maximum temperature for the day was only +19. It was cloudy, then foggy, then mushroom rain and finally proper rainfall. My feet were soaking wet the last few kilometers. While I wanted to do the day slowly, but watching the…

Camino Frances day 25: Salceda to Santiago de Compostela (27,09km)
My app says 765,16km distance for the hiking trail. The local pilgrims office wrote 779km on the certificate. No idea what the exact distance is, because by going to restaurants, cafes and albergues I did a lot of walking. I did not mark them down. Anywho, my average daily distance is around 31 kilometers. My…

Camino Frances day 24: Pontecampaña to Salceda (35,64km)
I assumed that with plenty of rest time I would be less worn out today. Looks like I was wrong. After 18km of walking, I realized that I was moving forward by burning energy reserves already. Since I have already booked my stay for tonight, I decided to push myself until the albergue. It is…

Camino Frances day 23: Mercadoiro to Pontecampaña (34,02km)
I was right to assume yesterday that today I will have some backlash for walking too long the day before. Although I have nothing hurting or injured, then physically I did not fully recover by the morning and was half exhausted all day. It is not as bad as it sounds. More frequent rest stops…

Camino Frances day 22: Fonfría to Mercadoiro (44,61km)
Moonlight for the first time this Camino! I saw each stone on the trail even without a flashlight. The view from the mountain down to the villages was spectacular at night. I reached Triacastela at the bottom of the mountain and there was heavy fog welcoming me. Had a little powernap next to an ancient…

Camino Frances day 21: Trabadelo to Fonfría (30,22km)
Week 3 was completed by hiking 218km. I am very close to Santiago now. The number of days left can be counted on one hand. The big goal of hiking 1000km is also a bit more than 60% done. Things are going really well for me. I made it up a crazy mountain with an…
