Google does not know which way the Camino goes, and it is not clear where you actually start in each town. Luckily there is always fellow pilgrims along the way that can point you in the right direction.
As we walk past the beach, we find our first yellow arrow, faint but important. We also discovered hills and that Galicia has plenty of them.
The first stop was a monastery in Bayona, where the people kindly stamped our Pilgrims Passport and even showed us where to refill our water bottles.
We started walking through hamlets and rural areas. Past fruit trees and vineyards. In the woodlands, we stopped for a while to eat the last of my yellow peaches. The kind lady working in her garden did not only wish us a “Buen Camino” but also a “Bon Appetit”.
Coming round one of the corners, we saw a group of people dressed in what appeared to be the choir uniform, we then saw them again in front on one of the churches.
On we went through hamlets, woodlands and short streches next to the road. There were also some streches on the beach, and a few stairs to climb, and that was the beginning of what would be 7 days of finding the arrows.
