Camino Portuguese Coastal Day 10: Cruces - Santiago de Compostela
I slept in a bit since I had less than 18km to Santiago de Compostela. I left my albergue around 8:20 AM, walking through gentle slopes before a steeper ascent. Most of the route followed roads and highways. I didn’t see many pilgrims until the last 8km. Thankfully, the weather held up, with only light drizzles now and then.
Walking into Santiago felt familiar this time. I made my way to the cathedral, took some photos, and then went to get my distance certificate.
I splurged on accommodation to clean everything properly. I did laundry, dried my shoes, and took a nice hot shower. Tomorrow, I’ll take a bus to Dumbría and walk to Muxía to complete my Camino journey.
