Day 55 – Oct 30, 2022 – Mercadoiro to Ventas de Narón (18,90 km / 11.75 miles)
We were excited to have our shadows back today. The weather was sunny with a nice cool breeze. The break in the storm for our longer day today is greatly appreciated.
Day 56 – Oct 31, 2022 – Ventas de Narón to Pontecampaña (15,84 km / 9.84 miles)
Happy Halloween! I am disappointed we weren’t able to shoot a video for you of us in costume. For the past week, we searched for simple costumes to wear while hiking today. We were hopeful we would find something yesterday, when we rolled into Portomarin, but it was Sunday so everything was closed.
Oh well, we tried. Instead, we dressed up as hikers on the Camino.
Day 57 – Nov 1, 2022 – Pontecampaña to Boente (18,53 km / 11.51 miles)
We enjoyed another cool, dry day today. As we get into our final push into Santiago, we’ve been forced to do some longer days. Some of this is due to how the towns are spread out, but more of it has to do with the calendar and the albergues closing down for the season. Today was a longer day than we wanted, especially since we haven’t taken a down day since we left Astorga 16 days ago. Our feet are constantly sore, but we see the finish line only 46 km away. Shut up feet, we got this!
