Day 31 Treacastela to Sarria-12 miles (27,000 steps).

We have arrived in Sarria, what a peaceful, serene and beautiful walk today. We took the traditional Camino route which did not have a lot of services but was so beautiful. We had plenty of snacks with us to eat along the way. But Amy missed her early cafe con leche 🤣 She didn’t kill me. 🥰

We left before sunrise and climbed for about 2 hours. It was a warm morning and the rain had stopped! We did see a little of the sunrise.

A church we passed by and A house with the Camino shell!

We stopped at this yoga alburge to rest our feet, there was no coffee for Amy 🥹 they had a cool stamp and I used the outhouse 🤪 they also had a compost bin for my orange peels.❤️as we were leaving we noticed they had this meditation rock garden.

We continued on through farm lands, mostly dairy farms and chestnut groves.We did finally find cafe con leche!

we had to stop and wait here for about 5 minutes while the cows went to pasture, they all just stopped and looked at us😀🐄🤠we saw more goats today as well.

I saw the pink shell on the sidewalk and had to take a picture with my pink socks.More murals, statues, flowers and me with my new Camino buff I bought in O Cebreiro.

After we checked into our Alburge, showered and did our laundry we went to lunch. We explored this town. We felt very fortunate that we are staying in the old part of the city where the remains of the castle are. We also visited the monastery and walked quite a few kilometers this afternoon.

The door to our roomwe have a lovely private room with a terrace. We will sleep well tonight, tomorrow on to Portomarin.

Buen Camino!

Becky and Amy leave on September 2, 2025 to embark on a pilgrimage, backpacking across Spain on the Camino De Santiago, also known as "The way of Saint James". This has been a bucket list item for Becky for several years.. The camino is a pilgrims journey to the Cathedral in Santiago where one can   visit the shrine believed to hold the remains of the apostle  Saint James .   The Camino is popular for its historical and spiritual significance, attracting both religious pilgrims and those seeking personal reflection or a physical challenge.   We invite you to follow our journey as we walk over 800 Km in less  than 6 weeks.  In the meantime, we are busy getting our bodies (and Feet) conditioned  to walk an average of 15 miles per day.   Stay tuned for more posts and Buen Camino!

We have arrived in France

We have arrived in St Jean Pied de Port, France! What a long 28 hours of travel with very little sleep…. 3 hour drive to Boston Logan airport. 6 hour flight from Boston to Madrid. 1/2 hour taxi ride to Madrid Train station. 2 hour wait for our train. 1 and 1/2 hour train ride to Zaragoza with only a few minutes to run ( or in our case walking very fast) to our connecting, only to get there and find it is delayed …phew! Next up a 2 hour train ride to Pamplona. Lastly an hour and a half taxi ride from Pamplona Spain to St Jean France… it was amazing as our driver kept pointing out the trail as we past it … “Look, El Camino!”🤣 We settled in our room, showered and washed our clothes then went to dinner and found some interesting wine to drink together. All in all we are tired but very excited for our hike to start on Friday. Our first comino family we met at the airport in Boston, they are from Biddeford Maine!! Train rides had the most beautiful landscapes but we are definitely weary tra...
