Saturday 18th October,
it is threatening rain but I stay mainly dry on todays walk, only 20kms, with a bit of a climb for the first 4kms, then start to approach the outskirts of Santiago. Luckily I am not limping as much as yesterday as the final 6kms is on hard surfaces through a large industrial area, before reaching suburbia and then heading into the old city. I arrive at 1230 in time to catch the swinging of the botafumiero once again, then it is off to my favourite restaurant for lunch before queueing for my compostela and a quick photo with the portuguese group that have been part of this camino. I am glad the walking is over for this trip. I will rest up here for a couple of days then head down to Madrid.
