Betanzos to Santiago

Belated research shows yesterday's Camino from Coruna unusual on two counts ... first it is less known than the Ferrol and poorly marked, second, and critically, it never went to Betanzos, but across to Bruma .... 27 km down the Ferrol Way ... still, Betanzos well worth visiting and making a great circular Way from Santiago, to Fisterra, Muxia, Neano, Arteixo, Betanzos and back ...

The official marker leaving town says 64 km to the Cathedral in Santiago ... usually broken into three stages ... crazy mind imagines it in one ... and after 12 + hours on the road it is done ... legs eager and running at 6 kph most of the way ... a 30 minute breakfast stop at 12 km, then more or less non-stop, 4 short breaks ... speed dropped for an hour's chat with Przemek and Jurek from Poland on the way to Sigueiro and a photo of them ... the only pic today ..  and after a late supper at San Martin Pinario, though not a bed since they are full, it's back to nearby second choice for a shower and snore free sleep ... next bed neighbour at Betanzos being rather noisy most of the night ... sorry for lack of creativity in today's post. .. normal service tomorrow perhaps ...

  1. All your creativity went into your legs getting you to Santiago. You are bending time and space. I am wondering how your legs feel after 64 kms. You could get a ticket from the Camino police for exceeding the distance limit if such a thing exists. But actually I am in awe. My legs ache just thinking about it.

  2. Legs fine, toe and ankle joints a little tender ... happy to have cracked the 60 limit ... no ambition for more ...
