We have met many pilgrims along the camino and just noting that not all pilgrims have the same goals or physical abilities. Many are doing the distance by following a rigorous agenda - 20-30km per day with full gear, and some novice pilgrims, who may be inexperienced hikers, following a less rigorous trek - less gear and/or shorter daily distances. The minimum walking distance to earn a credential is 100km, therefore both pilgrim types will earn the same credential. I have to mention this in hope of encouraging blog readers to considering doing a camino.
Today's trek was through forest and vineyards, and a great stop for our morning coffee! The most excellent coffee in large cups. We arrived in Padron by early afternoon and had a great lunch. In such large portions, I don't think loosing weight is possible. Padron is a quaint little town with churches and convent, and a beautiful tree-line park. There are a few plazas where parents bring there kids to play. I had a chance to fake out a kid with his soccer ball. He was probably 8 or 9 years old and already with skills of Ronaldo. How they love their soccer in Spain.
