Way of St. James

Hello people,

Today I'm going to explain my travel to the Way of St. James this September. Eight years ago, my parents, my dog and I begin with this purpose: Make the Way of St. James. However, we have to stop it because my dog Laika went ill while we are travelling.

This year, my parents decided to go back to Sarria, and begin another time the Way of St. James. In this time, go my parents, my girlfriend Alba and I. Like as said, we began in Sarria. We were travelling with car approximately 11 hours. When we arrive to Sarria, we look for a safe place for our car, and after this we look for lodging.

The first day was the easiest day. We wake up at 5.30 am, because the rest of the people that slept in the same room wake up at this moment. After this, we have breakfast, and we begin the way. We are completely refreshed, and this make that the way was few tired. Approximately at 13.00 am, we arrive to Porto Marín. We have finished the first stage that have 22.4 km. In the afternoon we are very very tired, and this makes that at 10 pm we were sleeping.

The second day we wake up at 6.00 am. The objective of this day was arriving to Palas de Rei. For arriving here we have to made 25km. This was the worst day for me. We are very tired of the last day, and this stage was very hard.

The third day, we went since Palas de Rei to Arzúa. Thisstage has 26km. However, this stage was easiest than the last stage.

The four day the objective was arrive to Monte do Gozo. We have to make 30km for can make it. Monte do Gozo was only at 4 km of Santiago de Compostela. We decided to stop here and the next day makes only this 4 km and arrives to Santiago with all of our capacities.

The Way of St. James was very tired, but I passed a long time with my parents and my girlfriend. I don’t appear any blister on my food, but my mother and my girlfriend doesn’t have my chance. Also, make the way of St. James make that one friend that I met in London the last year, Mélanie, comes to Santiago. In Santiago Alba and I stay with Mel, and we recorded a lot of moments passed in London.
