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.
