Today it was 12 miles walked, bringing the total to 581 miles walked over all.
The pace was not nearly as quick today as yesterday, even though the walk was much shorter. We were still feeling the effort yesterday required. I guess we don’t recover as fast as when we were 25 years old.
Because we are in Galicia there is a requirement that every morning begins with fog. Today did not disappoint. We walked up a long ascent on the edge of a ravine. Looking across, this is the view we saw:
Below we heard a loud river and caught only glimpses of the water below us.
So we continued, across the high meadowland and forests of this region before dropping into Corcubion, our first view of the sea in over 3 weeks.
We are now only about 7 miles from Finisterre, lands end. That will actually not be the end of our journey as we will do one additional day of walking, an 18 mile walk to Muxia. That walk, on Monday, will be our last of this adventure. We are both sad and relieved to see the end in sight.
We hope all is well with each of you.
It looks like you’re still visiting a lot of beautiful places every day, with or without fog. Great job keeping up the journey.
Thanks, Micah. This is a very beautiful region of Spain. We are seeing only but a part of it. Without question, there is more to see. For now we’re happy with what we’ve seen and look forward to perhaps another trip to explore different areas.
