So it’s the final day on the primitivo route today. Its sad to say we have finished this route as the vibe of the camino left us very quickly due to the newbies and their laziness. Tomorrow we join the camino frances on the route into santiago.
The albergue last night was very modern and eco. The newbies keep booking a head so we were lucky to find a bed for the night. Ended up with a private room for €15 each and the pilgrims menu sounded disgusting so we ate tapas at the local pub.
Woke up later than normal as the distance was short today. All you could hear was noise and banging as the newbies woke and rolled their suitcases down the corridor.
The €4 breakfast in the albergue was tasty and a good start to the day. Shame about the conversation as the newbies spoke about how 27km was too much. The newbies really have changed the vibe of the camino and I still think it’s wrong they get the same certificate as myself as I have walked longer.
28° today’s as we walked the route of boredom, headphones in a singing along soon passed time. A 300 metres climb over a mountain brought so much joy as we took over the newbies.
10k completed by 12:30 and lunched in a small cafe before the downhill climb with melide in site.
Booked ahead today for the albergue. Modern again but we have a small family with a baby in the room. Wonder how much sleep we will have tonight? Tomorrow we have also booked in a small pension (hotel) as we head into santiago on thursday morning. The reason for the pension is that pilgrims wake earlier on the last day and we are in no rush to hit santiago for the lunch time pilgrim mass where your name is read out if you get in by 11am.
