Day 35: Requejo de Sanabria to Lubian

Miles: 14

What a wonderful day. The sun was sunny, the birds were chirping, the mud wasn’t very muddy, and i had two solid cafés con Leche.

Tomorrow, we enter the province of Galicia. The terrain has gotten a bit more mountainous, and from now on, there’s more elevation changes during the day’s walking.

It was a poem about pilgrims
This gas station vending machine was full of legit Japanese snacks
The highest point of the Camino so far, the Cruz del Peregrino
A lot of the churchyards have an old beast of a tree, still hanging on
Neat old broken down grist mill. The snow melt flow is still strong so far this year.
The late mornings walk was just lovely

Lots of wolf related stuff here in Lubian

Day 34: Asturianos to Requejo

Miles 15

Much warmer today, a great day for walking and enjoying the sun.

Today’s moment of excitement was finding a pantry moth larvae in my cooked oatmeal….in the oats I’ve been eating for 3 days  Ah well, clearly it hasn’t hurt me. And now my backpack is a bit lighter.

Today’s high point was a coffee in Puebla de Sanabria. Its a walled city, and very nice if kinda touristy.

Im looking forward to my restaurant meal tonight. I was going to eat oatmeal but, anyhoo.

Tomorrow walk is quite short again, and I’ve got high hopes for coffee first thing.

Day 33: Mombuey to Asturianos

Miles: 10

A cold, rainy day. I got where I was going with wet feet but I made good time.

The albergue tonight is empty. Just two of us, me and an Italian, Antonio. He’s done 5 caminos, and he thinks this might be it.

The road today. The mud wasn’t bad

Lol Coke better not see this
St James there on the cross

Day 32: Villar to Mombuey

Miles: 9

Pleasant, if slightly damp, day. Had a little rain last night, so the path was muddy. Arrived in Mombuey and checked into the albergue. Several other pilgrims showed up. It was nice to have company.

Not much else to report

The first 2 hours were really peaceful
The sun tried hard all day to peek through the clouds
The church is nothing special, but the tower is quite a bit older and was originally a military installation
