Day 7: Redondela to Vigo – 17 km

Going Against the Flow

My last day of this caminho? I’m walking back to Vigo, where I’ll catch a bus to Coimbra and head home. Since I’m walking in the opposite direction, I pass about 100 pilgrims traveling from the Coastal route to Redondela. The Coastal caminho is very popular. Two years ago, I didn’t think it was crowded, but then I didn’t walk the opposite direction.

I pass the fish graffiti where I took a photo of Jaap-Willem two years ago. I also spot a new place where a man is selling shells, fruit, and other items. I stop there for a stamp.

When I arrive in Vigo, I do the same as on my caminho Coastal: I visit the Asian store and buy some nice products. It’s only 15 minutes from there to the bus station. And this time, I know the way to the bus station. The bus is full of pilgrims heading to Porto, and I’ll be on it for 3.5 hours, all the way to Coimbra. Once I arrive in Coimbra, I’ll take a taxi to Casa da Lima, where we have four guests, and we’ll have dinner together.

Tomorrow, there is the yearly trail in our village. Trail de Ladeia. I’ll walk the daily trail in our village—10 km. Eighth day of walking. Quite a busy week!
