So today was the start of our Camino. We set out before sunrise and climbed out of Vigo, walked 7 hours and 35,580 steps and we are now resting before dinner. Feet elevated, attended to, and rehydrated. The ups and downs today were a bit extreme for these old knees but the scenery was pretty spectacular.

Once out of the bustling city and associated suburbs, we were treated to a relatively flat trail through the woods along the side of the mountain which forms the Ria, a type of fjord one finds along the Atlantic coast in Northern Portugal and northwest Spain.

We stopped for second breakfast I Redondela and finally made it to Arcade
