Day 33| Trabadelo to La Laguna and O Cebreiro | Camino Frances | September Camino

[@josephkelley8634]

I think O Cebriero is the prettiest town on this Camino

[@Walkwith_M]

@@josephkelley8634 I have to agree with you there. It’s a fairyland. Galicia is my favourite region despite the rain.

I was watching your videos before I came on the Camino and it really helped with the weather and trail conditions info. Much to my surprise I am now in Portomarin and subject to any delay in posting your videos may be on pace or even just ahead. Wanted to let you know there is another Melbourne peregrino named Sage who is also doing the Camino and you two should bump into each other! Buone Camino!

The important guy in O'Cerbreiro was the local priest of that church, who 'reinvented the mordern day Camino in late '80s early 1990s and started drawing the yellow arrows.

[@priskawillumsen1333]

I just realised that the danish man that died was a priest close to were I live. But it was back in April. Just random info.

Please ask Margaret which season she preferred. Her walk in May/June or this one in September. I’m up in the air as to which one I’ll do next year. Thanks

[@Walkwith_M]

@@mauibob9488 she said every month is different. May brings poppy flowers, August is sunflowers. September brings chestnuts. She thinks June could be good

Yikes. Those two set a fast pace…Note to self: Send pack ahead.

[@Walkwith_M]

@@annetcell-ly4571 never. Not at this stage. Nearly finished and I would not part with Breezy my back pack at this stage. I just go slower and that’s ok. They can wait for me or note. Always has been solo journey. They always wait though … we do dinner together

[@xangarcia2677]

The Camino is like life. You carry your things. If you send your things ahead what's the meaning of your Camino?

[@annetcell-ly4571]

@@xangarcia2677 Each has their own meaning. It is not my place to judge.

[@xangarcia2677]

@@annetcell-ly4571 Sure? You judge each step, and you always look for the easiest option to achieve what others have done with effort. Don't say you don't judge

[@JorgeAbdala-n1z]

Is not a competition, not rules on it, you don’t have to apply others thinking to you, the same way can’t impose your ways in nobody, seems that you have not learn that everyone’s camino is their own, be respectful

Since I have failed in other areas I decided to try something. Your Spanish, I'm not going to lie, is not good. Let's try Galician. Bos días, boas tardes, boas noites. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening/night Grazas. Thank you Carallo, como chove. F....., It is raining a lot Keep tuning to this channel for more lessons

I'm very angry, that's not coffee liquor! That's coffee and Queimada. That is not given to an outsider. Sorry M. I've already seen the waiter's face, I'll talk to him. What the man is eating is Galician stew. Your Galician broth was a little salty because it is made with meat that is preserved in salt. If you don't desalt it well, it can be salty. Seriously, I'm so sorry. It is not the welcome you deserve to my kingdom. In fact, my grandmother said that we were descendants of the last king of Galicia. Hahaha One last piece of advice and I leave embarrassed. Be careful with the Meigas (witches), Lobisomes (werewolves), Trasgos (gobblings) and la Santa Compaña (the Holy Company) and you will be fine. Seriously, I'm so sorry, I'm embarrassed.

[@xangarcia2677]

I'll pay you another coffe

[@annetcell-ly4571]

@@xangarcia2677 Quemada (punch) sounds delicious. Why isn’t it given to outsiders? I learned something new today🙂. Also, it seems every country has its witches, faeries, goblins, bunyips and leprechauns.

[@xangarcia2677]

@@annetcell-ly4571 because she asked for coffee liquor and that is not it. The Queimada is made with liquor and with a spell, you cannot force or trick anyone into drinking it.

[@Walkwith_M]

@@xangarcia2677 no need Xan you have been very generous already with your insights and I leave learnt so much from you. I hope you write a book about Galicia one day!

[@Walkwith_M]

@@xangarcia2677 no embarrassment needed! Wow really? That drink is Only for locals ? Wow

[@xangarcia2677]

Now that you are arriving in Galicia, some advice. Don't bother the toads, they are spiteful. I don't know what it's like in Australia but here even though we eat pigs we have great respect for them. If you go to Lalín you will see dozens of statues of them. The rings in the nose of the bulls are to tame them, they are not castrated and their character is very strong. It is not the best system but they have done it this way since time immemorial. A 1.5 m girl with the skeleton of a cattle with that ring has been found in the area. It is believed that they are more than ten thousand years old. One thing I don't understand is that an Australian, with white sharks, crocodiles and more than a hundred poisonous snakes, is afraid of horse flies. On my first Camino I climbed all that mountain looking at a horse's ass. Damn tourists! Hahaha

[@Walkwith_M]

@@xangarcia2677 😂😂😂 you are so funny! But you got me worried about the 1.5m girl and cos skeleton I was charged by a cow in la Laguna taking that footage as was wearing red ?

¿Cómo? ¿Qué has hecho el esfuerzo de subir al Cebreiro, te bebes un “carajillo” y luego bajas a La Laguna para dormir, para mañana volver a subir? ¡Eso no lo hace nadie! 😅😅😅
