Portugal El Camino - 2016

Day 38 – September 30, 2016 - Santiago de Compostela, Spain to Negreira, Spain – 14 Miles

Woke up to fog this morning. Left the hotel at 8:30 am and made our way back to the Cathedral where we picked up the trail to Negreira, the first stop on our way to Finisterre. We were joined on the trail by several other pilgrims.

The majority of the day it was cloudy but pleasant. However, we did get a little light rain shortly after lunch. For most of the day we walked in the forest on either asphalt or gravel roads or dirt paths. The day provided us with a great workout as we had many ups and downs with some of the ups being very steep.

We made good time today on the trail as we arrived at our hotel around 3:30 pm ahead of our luggage which wasn’t delivered until after 4 pm. Tonight we will have the pilgrim’s dinner and then hopefully get to bed early as we have a very long day tomorrow of 21 miles.
