Camino de Santiago - Day 10

A Laxe to Poente-Ulla - 22.5 miles

It was by far the longest and hardest days I had but it was also one of the nicest. As much as I want to reach Santiago, I don't want this journey to end. I actually forgot what day it was until someone reminded me yesterday, what a lovely feeling. The walk started off next to the motorway but it quickly changed to a more idyllic setting: lots of green and gorgeous views. I did have more breaks than before but they mostly included a freezing foot bath so I could carry on walking. Today I've officially finished the Camino Invierno and joined the Camino Sanabres until Santiago. I could see the difference: more signs, more bars, more hostels and more peregrines (pilgrims). The last 2 miles were hell, going downhill at 45 degrees while my feet were on fire. It was a slow and painful process. My host was an absolute superstar: she kindly prepared a cold bath when I arrived and even got some liquid to rub on my feet o help with the swelling. I'll owe her for life. Walking to the shop for more food was not easy but it was a necessity.

Tomorrow I shall walk into Santiago.

So many thoughts.

So many feelings.

Let's start with utter JOY.
