Madrid again

And just like that, I took a high speed train to madrid.

That train whisked a bunch of us hikers over the same ground, in 3 hours, that took us more than a month to walk. Amazing.

I’ll be here until my plane comes back on the 15th.

Probably take some day trips.

TTFN

Muxia is an old fishing village that has become a destination by accident
We were lucky today with the weather
Calla lillies cover the hillsides here

Day 31 ending in Olveiroa

No rain today, but the clouds stayed around to cool me while I walked for 8 hours, which I appreciated.

Sure is different now on the path. Just a few of us left, but I’m still seeing a few familiar faces here and there.

Another longish day tomorrow for my arrival in Finisterre. I look forward to seeing the coastline.

Here’s an oldie from early days on the path. This is the group of roommates from my very first night of walking. Linda, yours truly, Bernadette and Anna

Last night town had a neat feature that I didn’t see until the morning
