La ruta hasta Santiago de Compostella
Hello all,
¿¿Anybody said that Spain was quite a warm country?? That is not always true, after arriving to Ponferrada to continue my route, I have encountered another snow storm in the magnificient village of O Cebreiro, the entrance of Galicia. It was so bad that the spanish television interviewed me and I am now known all over Spain as being a very brave Canadian!!!
After spending two days in the snow storm, I thought that my problems were over, but no... at the entrance of Triacastella, I have been bitten on the knee by a mad German sheppard. So I had to finish the last 20 kilometers of the day with a bad knee and a growing fear of encountering another mad dog!!! The next day, I have learned that one of my friend from Germany got bitten by the same dog, what a coincidence!
I am walking a lot more on my own and bigger distances (30 to 40 km per day) and I will reach Santiago really soon. It's a very strange feeling to think that I will stop walking, I am getting used to it and I am starting to enjoy my own company!
La Galice est fantastique, on peut y voir que c'est définitvement une nation à part entière en Espagne. La nourriture et le vin me rendent heureux et je ne me tanne pas d'y manger leur poulpe et leur fromage qui pourrait faire rougir n'importe quel fromage de France! On y parle un langage qui est un mélange d'espagnol et de portugais qui me donne envie d'approfondir mes connaissances de la langue portugaise et qui met en évidence l'importance pour les peuples de continuer à parler leur langue locale qui renforce la diversité culturelle et met en valeur la richesse de chacune de ces cultures!!!
