September 16, 2017 Corcubion, Spain

Having made the tough decision of stopping my Camino, I had to decide what my next step would be for my trip.

There were several things that I was interested in doing: Porto, Portugal, Vila do Conde, Portugal, or Corrubedo, Spain.

I’d been to all three of these places and really liked them. The last one I was just there for a few hours in 2013 on wanted to return, but unfortunately I couldn’t find a place to stay.

Another idea popped into my mind. What about the Galician coast? I’d been to Fisterra and to Muxia. So I looked at the other beach towns and decided on Corcubion. This is one of the towns in the Camino Fisterra. It sounded like a great place to recuperate and to spend a vacation while at least being close to a Camino.

So yesterday I packed up, said my good byes to Chencho, who even drove me a block to the bus stop.

Here are some last pictures of Vilanova.

So, a bus ride to Santiago de Compostela and about an hour and a half wait for my bus. Of course I had to eat since I thought that I would get to Corcubion late. Instead of walking into town (it’s not far, but I’m not walking very quickly), I ate at the bus station.

After just a little bit I found my lodging and then went exploring. I was finally able to get my shoes on that morning. I wanted to see how I’d do walking.

Praia=Playa=Beach. I guess no more smoking at that beach!

These flowers are near to where I came across two women probably about my age climbing a bank and giggling. It turns out that they were picking some grapes that were growing wild. They gave me some and they were pretty good!
