Camino Portugués- Coastal Route: Day 10 – Vigo to Redondela

We finally reached a marker indicating less than 100km to Santiago

Our hike today was 10 miles in constant on & off rain.

About the time we thought the rain was finished, we would remove our rain ponchos & within 10-15 minutes, another rain shower would start causing us to gear up again. Such is life for a pilgrim on the Camino.

Here are a few images from when we walked out of Vigo.

In the previous two days, we only saw 9 pilgrims in total. Today, we saw close to that many in the first hour.

To receive the Compostela Certificate in Santiago, you have to walk at least 100 km & collect stamps along the way in your Pilgrim Passport proving you walked it.

Vigo is exactly 100 km from Santiago which explains why we are now seeing more people on the path.

After climbing up a paved road on a very steep hill,to leave Vigo, we reached a nice flat plateau that wound through another eucalyptus & oak forest for several miles.

Some fun art work along the way.

Rande Bridge

Before reaching Redondela, we enjoyed a short rest at the Church of Santo Andre.
