Day 24 – Astorga to Acebo

37.1 km – 23 miles

7am to 5pm walking time

650 meters – 2132 feet elevation gain

It started off as a good day, until mistakes were made. It was all my fault though. Because I felt good this morning I entertained the idea of adding an extra 10ish km onto the 25ish I was already walking. Part of the reason was to stay in a new town that I hadn’t stayed in before but then it was also a beautiful day and so I would get an amazing view of the mountains. Last time I walked this section it was an overcast day so the views weren’t as great as today.

Unfortunately I picked probably the hardest 10km of the Camino to add on after I’d already walked a full day. I’m wrecked, both mentally and physically.

So you might just get a bunch of photos today…

The actual inspiration for my Camino tattoo from 8 years ago. I took a pic of this then and later that year had a tattoo done with a similar version.
I wanted to tell the bar owner it was my last name, but it might have been lost in translation.

Tomorrow will be a short day so I’ll take my time. My feet will appreciate the short day.
