19.7 km and 4:25 (see map).
So the walking is done, the Camino finished. I don’t think it has sunk in yet. I feel elated; privileged; weary. 783 km over 37 walking days plus 7 rest days. I’ll reflect on this extraordinary experience in the days to come, but right now I’m looking forward to catching up for a drink and meal with some Camino friends and then a long sleep.
To the walk into Santiago …
Onto forest trails not far out of O Pedrouzo.
A few more peregrinos on the path as the morning progressed.
A lot of folk at the first coffee stop, although many turned out to be in a school group of 14-15 year olds.
Rain clouds loom …
… with the rain coming for the last hour into Santiago (quite heavily at times).
Santiago nears.
First sighting of the cathedral.
There at last.
Then the queue for the compostela.
Just discovered your site while planning my trip for same time next year. A huge thank you for all your comments and information. Really appreciate it.
Thanks Chris. Hope the planning goes well.
