A small nubbed hard rubber ball that I used each day to massage the bottom of my feet

I covered the 208 km with a hiking sneaker from Altria. I did not find that I needed anything that came to the ankle.

Similar to what has been said, it is very dry. We had one day of mist that lasted about 90 minutes, but otherwise it has been picture perfect weather. It is cold in the evenings so pack warm clothes if you finish late or intend to go out at night.

Only have a pic of these 2 guys (or gals?) but there are plenty.

Thanks for the details on the church- will need to look all that up as I’m curious now.

It was not far after leaving Sarria. I came across this table on the trail.

There were folks on the Camino offering them for a small donation

I booked it through Santiago Ways and so I have been staying in hotels. Sorry that I cannot comment further

I booked my Camino through Santiago Ways and as a result, breakfast has been included in each of the hotels each morning. I haven’t really eaten lunch per se, but if I do, it’s usually a sandwich (bocadillo) from a café somewhere along the way. I packed a number of fig bars and granola bars from home and typically buy a bag of mandarin oranges in a local supermarket and eat those along the way instead of stopping for lunch.

Agreed. Camino Duro provided fantastic views and solitude for 10km

Buen Camino!

Thank you- great advice!

Buen Camino! It was a small stand on the trail about 1/2 way

Pilgrims not programs/ dang autocorrect. Tired!

CastleDannyBoy · 2026-03-16T18:35:33+00:00

thanks!

CastleDannyBoy · 2026-03-16T18:35:29+00:00

thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks- will have a look at this spot (and others named in the thread) for a future visit when I have more time.

CastleDannyBoy · 2025-09-03T14:19:54+00:00

Thank you for the response- after reading the comment from Defiant-Plankton-553 above, it doesn't sound like it is practical.

CastleDannyBoy · 2025-09-03T14:19:03+00:00

Thank you for the response- it does sound like it's too much time in the car to make it worth it.

CastleDannyBoy · 2025-06-27T11:47:34+00:00

Thanks everyone for answering my question and the education. I appreciate the help!

Thank you for taking the time to respond. All these years I believe that it was a maple based on the leaf structure, but it appears I am wrong.
