The Final Stretch Begins 🥾✨ | Days 33–38
From the mystical fog of O Cebreiro to the soft forests of Ribadiso and beyond, this part of the Camino has felt like walking through a dream — lush, green, quiet, and full of reflection.

📍O Cebreiro ➝ Triacastela
📍Triacastela ➝ Sarria
📍Sarria ➝ Portomarín
📍Portomarín ➝ Palas de Rei
📍Palas de Rei ➝ Ribadiso
📍Ribadiso ➝ Pedrouzo

The energy has shifted. There’s more movement on the trail, more voices, more anticipation. But inside, I feel slower, softer.

My feet ache, yes — but my heart is wide open.
I’ve released so much on this path, and gathered so much more.
Gratitude. Stillness. Awe.

Every sunrise feels like a blessing.
Every step, a sacred promise to keep going.

From the open plains of Astorga to the misty magic of O Cebreiro, and now deep into the green heart of Galicia… this Camino has become something more than a walk — it’s become a shedding, a remembering, a sacred return.

📍Paramo ➝ Astorga ➝ Rabanal ➝ El Acebo
📍Villafranca ➝ Ambasmestas (and a needed rest)
📍O Cebreiro ➝ Triacastela ➝ Sarria
📍Portomarín ➝ Palas de Rei ➝ Ribadiso

These footprints on my map aren’t just distance. They’re memories.
Misty mornings and mountain climbs. Stone villages and soul-deep conversations.
Quiet moments at Cruz de Ferro. Rest days that healed more than my feet.
And now, walking through Galicia, I feel held — by the land, by the rhythm, by something ancient.

I’m tired. I’m tender. And I’m so grateful.
Every step has shaped me. And I carry it all forward. 💛

Villafranca ➝ Ambasmestas ➝ O Cebreiro 🥾⛰️🌿
The past few days have been a climb — in every sense. From the valleys of Villafranca through the quiet of Ambasmestas, and up into the misty mountaintop village of O Cebreiro… this stretch was humbling, powerful, and deeply sacred.

The ascent was steep, and my body felt every mile. But the deeper work has been internal — letting go, leaning in, listening closely to what the trail is asking of me.

Crossing into Galicia felt like a threshold — a shift in landscape, in spirit, in rhythm. O Cebreiro welcomed me with clouds, stone paths, ancient beauty, and a sense of something holy in the air.

I’m climbing not just mountains, but layers of self. And I’m not the same woman who began in St. Jean.

Rabanal ➝ El Acebo 🥾⛰️
Today, I walked to one of the most sacred points on the Camino — the Cruz de Ferro, the Iron Cross. A place where pilgrims for centuries have laid down stones, prayers, burdens. A place to let go.

I left a stone… but also something heavier.
I laid down guilt I’ve carried in my relationship with my mom.
I laid down the pain of a broken marriage.
I laid down the grief for the father my son no longer has.

At 1,500 meters above sea level, I stood still, cried quietly, and gave it all to the wind, the Earth, and something greater than me.

There was no ceremony — just surrender.
No resolution — just release.

The road to El Acebo was steep and rocky, but nothing compared to the weight that stayed behind at the cross.

Today was somber. Sacred. And necessary.
I keep walking — lighter, softer, and more open than before.

León Photo Dump 🚌📸✨
I chose rest over pride and took the bus into León — and I have no regrets. My feet needed a break, and my soul needed space to simply be.

León greeted me with history, color, stunning architecture, and a quiet kind of magic. I wandered slowly, soaked in beauty, and let myself enjoy the stillness without the weight of miles.

The Camino isn’t just about walking — it’s about wisdom, listening to your body, and honoring your journey as it unfolds. León reminded me of that.

Rested, grateful, and ready to keep walking — when the time is right. 💛

Days 22, 23, 25 & 26 | Carrión ➝ Calzadilla ➝ Sahagún ➝ Villadangos ➝ Astorga 🥾🌾
These days have been full of long stretches, wide skies, quiet reflections, and deep endurance.

Day 22 & 23 brought the raw beauty of the Meseta — endless space, silence that humbles you, and a rhythm that strips everything down to breath and step.

Day 25 & 26 pulled me forward again — out of León and back into movement. The landscapes are changing, the energy is shifting, and so am I.

Feet are sore, spirit is steady, and my heart is full of gratitude for the land, the people, and the strength I didn’t know I had.
The journey continues. 💛

(Day 24 into León deserves its own story — coming soon.)

Every step tells a story. 🥾🗺️
From the first stamp in St. Jean-Pied-de-Port to resting now in Sahagún, this journey has stretched me, softened me, and shaped me in ways I never imagined.

Each footprint on this map holds memories: sunrises in silence, aching feet on long stretches, laughter with fellow pilgrims, moments of deep stillness, and blessings whispered in old stone churches.

This isn’t just a trail — it’s a path of release, reflection, and reconnection. And I’m still walking… one step, one breath, one sacred mile at a time.

Grateful for how far I’ve come — and for all that still lies ahead. 🌿✨

Days 19–21 | Hornillos ➝ Castrojeriz ➝ Boadilla ➝ Carrión de los Condes 🥾🌾
The Meseta is stripping everything down — the noise, the rush, the expectations — leaving only breath, stillness, and space to feel.

Day 19: a peaceful stretch to Castrojeriz, walking into wide skies and golden silence.
Day 20: climbed out of Castrojeriz at sunrise — one of the most breathtaking moments yet. The view, the quiet, the inner stillness... unforgettable.
Day 21: pushed through to Carrión de los Condes — long miles, sore feet, but carried by intention and inner fire (tapas).

Out here, it’s not just about walking. It’s about listening. Releasing. Trusting. The Earth holds you, the sun tests you, and your soul speaks a little louder in the emptiness.

Grateful for the beauty, the challenge, and the deep peace that only comes when everything else falls away.

Belorado ➝ Villafranca Montes de Oca 🥾🌄
After a brutal 15-mile day in the heat yesterday, my body finally said enough. I hit a wall with heat exhaustion, sore feet, and full fatigue. So today, I listened.

Just 6 gentle miles through the hills — a slower, softer walk with space to breathe. The scenery was stunning, peaceful, and exactly what I needed to remind myself: the Camino isn’t a race, it’s a return.

Last night, I sat in a beautiful church and watched pilgrims receive a blessing at mass — a sacred reminder of why I’m here. To walk with intention. To heal. To be open.

We stopped in this mountain village — the only place with water before a 12km stretch. A wise pause, not just for the body… but for the soul.
