Itinerary description

The last long stage (25+ km) today. And with the current heatwave in Northern Spain (albeit nothing compared to the record-breaking temperatures of more than 45 degrees Celsius in other parts of Spain), it's good to start early in the morning. The first few hours are cloudy, like the previous days, and when the sun breaks through around 11 am, the first 10-15 km are already done.

We leave the medieval city of Lugo behind and continue our way through the Galician countryside, sometimes through forests, sometimes through small hamlets and fields. In San Roman, we see a replica of a literal 'milestone'; stones that the Romans used to indicate each mile along their roads. It's impressive to think that we're walking along exactly the same roads!

The last few kilometers are hard, since it's around 2 pm and we are walking fully in the sun. The arrival in albergue Ponte Ferreira, run by a sweet Dutch couple, is more than welcome. We reached another milestone in our own Camino!
