Today was a lot of climbing, which surprised me. I must’ve been looking at the Literal when I checked for elevation today. My entire day was spent solo. The only time I saw it anyone was when I went into a town village. I assume most pilgrims are choosing to walk the flat path of the literal. I had hours of quiet, contemplative walking.
The day had many “Buen Camino” greeting from locals in the towns and villages. This home welcomed pilgrims with a trail angel stand set up in their courtyard.
The urban walk was mainly in a park along a small river, but large cities are always confusing and startling after a quiet forest.
My private room is tiny but perfect. I am in the 2nd floor which is 3rd floor to us. And as usual, there is no elevator.
Vigo has a vibrant little plaza, everyone (well, not me) was partying until about 3 am.
If you’re wondering why I don’t have any great pictures of food. It’s because I have no appetite yet. It’s very disappointing to be in Spain and not be hungry. 😳 Also I have yet to see a pilgrims meal offered at any of the cafés. When you’re not hungry, it’s always an easy choice because at least you get a salad, protein, small dessert and local wine. Also I haven’t seen one Albergue offer a communal meal. I miss that opportunity to sit with other people and share a meal.
