Cruce de los Caminos: Crossroads of the Caminos



Today I walked the last stretch of the Northern Way to a town called Arzúa. Up till now if we met anyone there was a better than 50-50 chance we would’ve seen them before, known their name, or knew mutual pilgrims.


Lots of pilgrims on a square at night

There are fewer albergues on the Northern Camino, which means again, there’s an increased chance that when you arrive you will know someone or many people, even.

I forgot all about this huge bubble of pilgrims on Monday and foolishly told Angela, a pilgrim friend from Australia, that I would see her in town when we arrived. I didn’t know the name of her albergue or her contact information.

I haven’t seen her yet. I’m hoping I find her in Santiago tomorrow.

Here’s our picture at the Monastery in the cloister.

It was a nice walk into Arzúa. It’s hard to believe we will be in Santiago on Wednesday afternoon.  


Filled Church at mass in Pedrozou. Crowds everywhere now.
