October 20 Lavacolla

Ironically, this where the Santiago airport is. Tomorrow, I arrive in Santiago, and then, Wednesday, I taxi back here to the airport- and home!

Of course.

Put your coin in his tummy and turn the crank to get a flat coin. No pennies in Spain, so you can get a flat nickel.
I took this photo from another website, but for those of you reading Facebook group posts about how not many people wear boots – here’s a pretty standard mix of boots, trail runners, hiking shoes, and sandals. Wear what works for you – not what total strangers in Facebook groups tell you to wear.
Rio Sionlla In Lavacolla where medieval pilgrims would wash before entering Santiago. This photo is from my 2021 blog. It was raining today, so I didn’t walk over to the river.

They made it to Santiago!

Stage 38: O Pedrouzo to Lavacolla

October 16: The usual stage is Pedrouzo to Santiago (about 20km), but I made two short days out of it. It was such a short walk I almost forgot to take pictures. A few last visits with camino families who would be walking on to Santiago, a stroll around Lavacolla and a big pat on my own back for stopping the day before the afternoon rain storm.
