Camino Day 1 ✨
Such a lovely buzz this morning as we set off from the hotel, full of excitement and ready for the adventure ahead. The Camino greeted us straight away with a gentle reminder of what we signed up for… a nice uphill start 😊 Thankfully we reached a beautiful restaurant just in time for a very welcome morning cuppa.
We wandered through rolling hills that had us stopping often to admire the views… mixed with a few little “ouch” moments as the feet began their Camino journey and the Compeed made its first appearance. All part of the experience!
Lunch felt especially deserved — tuna salad sandwiches never tasted so good. We rested, soaked up the atmosphere, and gathered the energy to continue.
The afternoon brought peaceful woods, streams, stunning scenery and, of course, a well-earned ice cream stop along the way. The final 4km flew by and arriving into Portomarín felt like such a lovely achievement. This little town has some amazing history, which makes the arrival feel even more special.
It really does feel like Ireland in the sunshine here. Shower, feet up, relax… and ready to do it all again tomorrow 💛
the love
