September 29, 2023,Camino de SANTIAGO von Arzua to Petrouzo 2023.09.29.

The night was quiet and I started at 7am. With a headlamp the full lamp wasn't bright enough. I think they were beautiful paths...but you won't believe what's going on here on the Camino!!!! I didn't think of THAT...
Still no bed for tonight, no matter where I call...every hostel is fully booked! So the only thing that helps is …

July 23, 2022,100. Etappe Jakobsweg von Arzúa nach O Pedrouzo

Still have 19.5 km to Santiago Compostela. But because the city is so overcrowded because of the holiday on Monday and there is no overnight accommodation in the city, you have to stay two days before the city. I will be sailing to Santiago Compostela on July 26th.

Fucking hell... like driving a crowded highway and everyone is driving too slow and outside their lanes; swerving around crowds of tour groupies with suitcases

I did meet Pepe and María tho, super. And the ladies from the laundrylast night, we were proud we had clean clothes (finally... everything I had stunk) for the run into Santiago

August 19, 2024,🇪🇸 CdN 28: Arzúa => O Pedrouzo

Relaxed mass hike through rural areas with few roads and many supply options.

The Camino Frances and the Camino del Norte meet in the town of Arzúa. This means that from now on it is as crowded as the pedestrian zone of a medium-sized German town. And it's not just those who have hiked the entire Camino Frances who come …
