Day 7 – Vigo to Redondela

Today we started again at 8:00 knowing that we have a big climb early in the walk.

Exiting Vigo wasn’t as beautiful as the previous cities however it go better as we ascended. These are a few pics

The mountain was beautiful and very peaceful with several natural waterfalls

On the way, we found a young man playing a bagpipe which is the least you expect to find a the top of the mountain

When you are in El Camino, you always have to keep moving forward, one step at a time. The motto that you need to keep in your mind is:

“ If you can run, run, if you can’t run, walk, if you can’t walk, crawl but never stop”.

And when I found a tree across the path, I had to crawl in order to pass. You can see my flawless technique.

After 8.5 miles, we finally found a Cervezeria and I refueled with 3 beers

Today, we arrived to our pension very early and did our normal routine, watch our clothes, shower, buy the essentials for next day.

The pension has a washing machine, but the dryer uses renewable energy

The host of the pension provides massage services, so Diana is taking a 30 minutes massage on her legs and feet before we go out for dinner.

Now, about the village we are staying tonight. Redondela is known as the “Village of the Viaducts” because of its two major railway viaducts built in the 19th century. The older viaduct is made of iron and stone, is 32 meters (105 ft) high, and 411 meters (1,356 ft) long. It was active for over a century on the Vigo-Ourense railway route until 1971, when the railway line was modified. The structure was rehabilitated in 2014 and is now used as a pedestrian walkway.
