Day 10: Vigo to Redondela (10.6 miles)

Walking the Camino

We had our unanimous pick best breakfast this morning--sharing a yogurt with fresh fruit, honey granola, with a delicious pistachio sauce, and a toasted avocado, turkey and goat cheese sandwich. Great start to the day!

We went from there right into a 1,000 foot climb out of Vigo to a mesa that served as our route to Redondela. We were propelled forward by sweeping vistas of the Ria de Vigo below and a refreshing sea breeze from the North.

Not much more to add for this shorter walk day other than having great conversations with Jessica. She's the best.

I will say it's been good having a couple of shorter mileage days like today mixed in with the longer days. We can leave a little later those mornings and get more time to rest and explore the area those afternoons.

We went to dinner at an eclectic gastro bar with a Korean, Spanish and English menu with notes of Japanese decor listening to a playlist of American rock, hip hop and pop songs played in a rockabilly 50s style by a German band. Like I said, eclectic. A fun way to close out the day.

Buenas noches familia!

PS Observation of the day... I've been struck by how many solo pilgrim walkers we've encountered, most of them women. Good on them.
