I don’t know if anyone will see this post, but I want to apologize for not having responded to those who posted comments during our Camino. I didn’t know how to access them until now. Thanks for taking time to share them.

The two days walking from Ribadiso to Pedrouzo Arca, and then on to Santiago were basically typical, with beautiful views, thousands and thousands of eucalyptus trees, and a couple of gorgeous sunrises.
