It starts in the morning on a little-used road. Traffic increases during the morning and when entering the cities.
I only briefly deviate from the road and am then on the pilgrimage route. Many people are out and about, but the stone paving and gravel are not suitable for my heavily packed touring bike

It rained during the night and it is foggy in the morning.
On the way to Santiago, there are still some ascents to overcome. Many, really many pilgrims are on the way.

The night was restless again, due to the street noise and the thin walls of the accommodation.
Some pilgrims are already packing their things at 3:30 am, so a good night's sleep is out of the question.
The pilgrimage route is really crowded today. Many young and old people are hiking as if it were a group

A short section of today's stage was flat through several towns and villages.
Then came some smaller climbs up to Villafranca del Bierzo. A very beautiful, old town with a castle.
Then it goes uphill in a basin, sometimes flat, then steeper again and at the end of the almost 20 km long climb, very steep

A brief look at the sleepy town of Astorga, which has very beautiful squares and houses.

My accommodation was next to a bar today. The Spaniards celebrated until 1 AM, as if it wasn't already Monday.
Therefore, it was another short night. The morning was still hazy from yesterday's thunderstorm in the evening.
The last clouds were still drizzling a bit when I arrived in Leon.
The city was still

It is terribly hot here, even at sunrise.
The path runs along an almost unused road. In the next town, there is more coffee for refreshment.
Afterwards, the journey leads me along the pilgrimage trail for a few kilometers. The path is flat and easy to ride.
There is a lot going on on the path today, as

It goes without saying that many different things can happen on a journey. In today's case, the waiter at the restaurant I used overslept.
In itself, nothing terrible, but I couldn't get to my locked bike. Because of this mishap, I was late getting to the bike path, but luckily, I was chasing a thunderstorm

I started off leisurely again today, breakfast was at 7 am.
Unfortunately, I made a mistake when loading the tour. It was the wrong tour, and by the time I realized it, it was too late. The correct tour could no longer be loaded, and everything only worked again when I was provided with Wi-Fi at a gas

It's another small round around Porto.
To the beach, along the coast and from the Douro river, into the city center.
The city of Porto is built on hills and has the beloved cobblestone pavement.
Many people enjoy the morning hours with sunshine and a lot, a lot of warm, by noon almost hot wind.
