9/24/23 Caldas de Reis to A Escravitude

Last night’s dinner was a ham and cheese sandwich with Ruffles on the terrace of where we were staying.

We have a 24K walk today as we start to wind down our Camino. After 18 days of walking we are pretty tired.




At one point, in order to follow the Camino we had to walk through a massive flea market. It went on for blocks and people were driving in and parking everywhere.

We stopped to get lunch in Padron and met an Irish dad and his daughter doing their third Camino for his 70th birthday.

We are staying at O Lagar de Jesus tonight in the bunk rooms. Nice rustic farmhouse. We met sisters Martine (California) and Linda (Perth Australia) who lived in Malaysia/Singapore when they were young. It was fun talking with them about Malaysia where I was a Peace Corp volunteer.

Tonight we’ll have a communal dinner and then it’s onto Santiago de Compostela.

“The Camino teaches you the journey is more important than the destination”…
