Day 33 Pintin to Portomarin, Spain October 24, 2022
I woke up to sunshine and very little wind. It was a fantastic day for walking as not only was the weather great but the scenery was awesome. I decided to walk further because of the great weather and not knowing what tomorrow may bring. I walked 28.9 km, my longest day yet –
As far as an intention, I decided to look at the weather from a positive point of view. I know that my attitude is completely controllable and so I decided that whatever the weather was going to be today, I was going to enjoy it and did I luck out! Attitude is really something that we can control and it can make or break our day. One of my most favourite movies of all time is Life is Beautiful which was an Italian black-and-white film. A dad and his son are in a concentration camp during World War II and the dad knows what’s going to happen to them but the child does not. The dad does a really good job of keeping a positive attitude to keep his son happy. It is a must see and an Oscar winner.
Along the way-
The Monastery of the Magdalena is in Sarria but was not open. There are a lot of nice mosaic sidewalks in front of it-
After Sarria-
I stopped at the Iglesia de Santiago de Barbadelo. It’s in Romanesque style from the 12th century. The graveyard is next door. That’s the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery. A graveyard is next to a church and the cemetery is elsewhere –
Carrying on-
There are people everywhere –
I came across a very small stone building and inside was an altar –
And this creepy Madonna looking down on me-
Every village has a church but most are not open –
More memorials and places to put prayer wishes –
I’ve seen a few of these buildings and I think they are used for food storage for animals -
There was a really steep stone walkway at the end of the trail. It would’ve been horrible yesterday with water gushing down it –
