.....as I finished 1/1-17. Just got home.
Met 14 pilegrims in total, which 4 appeared on my last night before Santigo, at Sobrado dos Moxes. 2 going opposite way. Know the name on 5. Free spirits!! Walked solo minus 1,5 day with very good company .
Froze a lot last week. My stupidity sending clothes home earlier on.
Not any problem with a bed of some sort. For peace of mind, call ahead. Minimum the same day.
Some days I overstretched my limits, BUT it was soooo sweet walking towards end of day and darkness. Especially in good weather. Averaged minimum 10 km more a day, because there was no hassle with bed.
Avoided slippery tracks in the rain and took mostly shortest alternative. Exept following GR-E9 (on recommandation from host Lola) before Llanes.
Vvvvery helpful and generous locals all around.
Stayed totally alone in 9-10 albuergues, lot's of space in other words.
In short;
Time of year is near ideal for two solitary souls sharing the wastness of experience together...
Total 817 km
18 days
0 restdays
Average 45 km a day
