I really commend you for pressing on through the heatwaves! I probably would have collapsed by now. I hope the temps drop soon! Buen camino :)

Alex, the evening sky is spectacular…especially in wide angled contrast with the illuminated church and town street. The Portomarin sunrise with the misty clouds is beautiful. You are so fortunate to experience this pilgrimage. Stay healthy and safe.

Lovely pictures, and the lovely AlexNote! You are near the end of your pilgrimage, on the last lap. You have less than a week to go. I believe 100km is about 63 miles (for an American who still doesn’t use the metric system. 🤔 That would be me!)

I have wondered how you can walk in this heat & humidity, it can’t have been easy. Stay safe.

Thanks Jean, starting really early was the best way to beat the heat. It was often a race against the clock

Thank you for this wonderful article and excellent photos!

You’re getting so close to the end of this fabulous adventure. I admire your endurance under the harsh conditions of extreme heat.

Also your efforts at writing and photographing the amazing things you’ve seen and presenting them so well to those following your journey.

The videos have been especially lovely.

Continue on in safety and good health. It must seem exciting to see the kms dwindling now to under 100.

As always, I love the Alexnote! Beautiful!

Thank you Lizzie. I wish there would be more time to write but walking is like a full-time occupation
