Lavacolla – Santiago de Compostela
10 kms (total: 806 kms, according to my cell-phone counter; guides and maps say 854 kms; the pilgrim’s office says 845 kms!)
2 hours and 22 minutes (+ 40 minutes of breakfast and photo breaks).
6 – 23°C., sunny all day.
Favorites: I DID IT! WE DID IT! How wonderful, this feeling of achievement!
Downs: none today, how can there be any?!!!
Stayed at the Albergue de Lavacolla (12€/night), on El Camino, at the exit of the village, in Lavacolla.
Staying at Pensión San Roque tonight (20€/night for a single room), rúa Hospitaliño 7, in Santiago.
We celebrate all day today, visiting and being good tourists, getting our Compostela (the certificate of completion of El Camino) and other kinds of souvenirs, getting ready for what’s to come tomorrow… HAPPY!
Buen Camino! 😁

none today, how can there be any?!!! – That’s so awesome. Yup. It is truly an awesome feeling. When I reached the Whitney Portal (although the High Sierra Trail ended at Mt. Whitney summit), I felt more complete than at the top of Mt. Whitney to be honest. LOL And nothing could top it. Kudos!

Thanks, Janet! It’s been fantastic to live it and share it with you all! Thanks for your undying support!
I’ve been following your walk also – congratulations on your finish and, really, the whole journey (in every aspect of that word). Hoping to do this myself someday.
Thank you also for keeping up with me the whole time. I’m happy to know you plan to go some day too and I’ll be happy to follow you, then!
You are such an inspiration! I read your posts about El Camino every day and couldnt wait for the new ones to come. Thank you very much for sharing this experience on your blog.
Thank YOU, Ese, for following up and sending good vibes! It’s been such a fabulous adventure, I feel terribly happy to have achieved it and so tormented to have finished. I hope some day you’ll make your own Camino too.
