As you are walking - check out The Last 12 K Guest house in San Paio. Amazing place to stay. The hostess, Helena is so kind and accommodating. The restaurants in town close at 3pm, but she lets you choose items from the menu and she has them...
@akane81 - Hmmmm 22km on your 1st day...Yeah maybe a bit much but then it does not compare with SJPDP to Roncesvalles (not to take away from your deed just that Sarria to Portomarin there is no climb).
12 hours is a lot of time obviously you were...
Congrats! I did it in June, started at 8.30am and ended at Portomarin at almost 7pm. It almost killed me, I wasnt enjoying my first day on the CF and regrettably I had only 5 days to walk and everything was booked. Glad that you did the right...

So on your 1st day you walked roughly 16km which is not bad at all!!!! and you did it in 6 hours. Dont know if that included breaks but again -...
I started today from Sarria. I am telling you…it was much harder than I thought. (61yr young🙋🏻♀️) Made it to Ferreiros. Stopping for the night…my app said we walked 9.93 miles and I feel every one of them. It wasn’t busy at all!!! Met a nice...
