Final day! Woo hoo! 9/1/2025

OK, it’s 9:25 AM Arca Spain time we’re about to start our final leg of our five day 70 mile 110 km walk. We have 12 1/2 miles to go today to Santiago. Wish us luck foot seems to be OK so far today.

OK, made it to Santiago at 4 o’clock. We walked by the church looked around for a little bit and then headed to the hotel to lighten our load and then we’ll go back later tonight to Cathedral area tour around a little and eat in the area also. We went mass in the cathedral at 7:30 tonight and then walked through the narrow streets with a bunch of restaurants and gift shops and farmacias and other stores. It really does take one back in time.. The Cathedral Santiago de Compostella was started in the year 1075 and finished in 1211! It is an amazing building which you will see in the pictures! It’s getting late so I’m calling it a night and will post more tomorrow.

That was quite interesting and we ate dinner at a nice restaurant right outside the door of our hotel. I feel quite safe in this city while we were walking around so very few homeless but did see some. This morning, I was able to visit the a la cathedral de Santa Maria. Oh my gosh, what a beauty I spent about 30 or 40 minutes in the cathedral and it just took my breath away. I’ll share a few pictures. I got lost trying to find my way back to our hotel or somewhat lost not bad but ended up getting back to the hotel a little late and we managed to missed our train to Sarria so we’re sitting at the train station waiting for the next train which is at 5 o’clock tonight. ...
