Padrón to Santiago de Compostela, 14 miles
After a very rainy night, we left Padrón early. We were lucky at first, with no rain. We did get rained on a few times, luckily it never lasted too long. A lot of the walk is on roads or next to them, and there’s quite a bit of uphill. Nothing too steep, but enough to notice.
We walked around Santiago and had some good food. We went to the Pilgrim office to get our Compostelas, the certificate that shows you did the walk, and another one that has the distance on it.
This last day of walking is bittersweet. We are happy to be done, and our legs and feet are happy to take a break for a bit, but I at least feel sad to be done (not sure they all agree with me). It has been so special to me to do this with my family! It wasn’t all perfect, but overall it was amazing. I’m very grateful to have been able to do this.
Tomorrow we head to Barcelona, and then slowly back to the U.S.
Until next time! Buen Camino!!!
McHughs on The Camino 
We appreciate viewing all of your photos that have so marvelously depicted aspects of the Camino…. the energy highs and lows, uphill and downhill, cobblestone and dirt path, and rain and heat. Especially liked that last “It’s a wrap.” Thank you for sharing your family Camino with the rest of us.
