Day 7 Padron to Santiago 25 km

We did an early 7:30 am start to make sure that we could get to Santiago by lunchtime (it's all about the food), so we did the first hour or so in the dark.  The route was well marked all the way, that is until we actually reached the outskirts of Santiago, at which point all route markers seemed to vanish!  I guess they expected God to guide us in from that point (however we turned on google maps instead).

Here are some video snippets from the last day of our Camino, you can walk with us virtually:

A lot of the Camino was through small Galician villages, this was my favourite part of the camino.  Beautiful laneways, the terror of seeing cars racing at you from around tight corners, etc.

We crossed a few major intersections, highways and industrial areas, but not a significant amount.

The wooded trails were easy on the feet, however the dirt trails were often uneven and muddy.

A plaza full of sweaty pilgrims!!!

And some pics:

Some nice trails.

An auspicious distance marker.

Sonya calls these things "infidel shacks" and she says this is where I will need to stay if we ever move here.

10 km to go!

A nice view.

Arrived at the end of our pilgrimage!
