32.3 km ~ 45,534 steps Song of the Day: Mykonos – Fleet Foxes Originally, I had wanted to take the Dragonte Route today, a mountainous, remote, alternative route, but because we were starting in Cacabelos, that would have been 40+ km. I didn’t think Maverick […]

27.4 km ~ 38,610 steps Song of the Day: Take Me to Church – Hozier May have accidentally slept way later than anticipated. Good thing it wasn’t a scorching hot day so Maverick didn’t mind too much. He also has found out that he fits […]

31.2 km ~ 44,009 steps Song of the Day: Drops of Jupiter – Train I think today was my favorite day so far. It had been a day I was looking forward to, getting to lay down my stone at the base of El Cruz […]

7.35 km ~ 10,365 steps Song of the Day: Rivers and Roads – The Head and the Heart Today, I decided, was all about perspective. I would do a short day today, just to Astorga. By the “stage”, I should have ended there yesterday so […]

34 km ~ 46,000 steps Song of the Day: Boulevard of Broken Dreams – Green Day So we all know I’ve been nauseous for the past 3 days now. But this morning, I woke up feeling so gross, I knew I couldn’t start right away […]

24.3 km ~ 34,336 steps The Reason – Hoobastank This morning I woke up as planned, to leave by 5:30 from León and I just couldn’t get myself to do it. I felt nauseous and laid back down, debating if this hostal would let me […]

Song of the Day: Waves – Dean Lewis (yes, again) Today we put the harsh day of yesterday in our rear view as best we can and celebrate a birthday. To start, we “unwrapped” all the toys I had bought for Maverick yesterday at the […]

Song of the Day: Waves – Dean Lewis As I said yesterday, I might take the train to León today. However, that plan didn’t go as smooth as I would have hoped for. We were given a ticket as usual and boarded the first train […]

18.2 km ~ 25,515 steps Song of the Day: Halfway Gone – Lifehouse I had planned to do a short day today and stop in Sahagún and thank goodness for that because boy oh boy did it rain. I had heard there would be a […]

27.5 km ~ 38,797 steps Song of the Day: Only Love – Ben Howard What a beautiful day, not simply the weather but the company. Today, we walked all but 2 km with people. We started off as early as we could, having been warned […]

33.1 km ~ 46,588 steps Song of the Day: Don’t – Ed Sheeran Well, today I had intended to take the scenic route and then due to a bit of a sketchy run in, we ended up having to change plans so we were stuck […]
