Green Doors in Pontevedra 💚


Posted by LP - photos by VQT

Photo - well maintained dark green double doors

My reduced mobility has limited the number of green doors I have seen on this Camino (our long time supporters know what great importance these are to me), but not to worry, VQT has kept up the tradition and pleased me with a variety 💚

    Glad you are getting to see your green doors even if they are through someone else’s lens.

    It’s still amazes me that there are so many different green doors. I think Linda needs to publish a Green Door book from the Camino Way.

I’ve met some nice taxi drivers

 Posted by LP Photo - green glass and metal decor (in restaurant) Circumstances have conspired against me completing this Camino - I am sad that I won’t be walking along, taking photos of green doors, complaining about my feet, being passed by other (younger, faster) pilgrims…..not on this particular Camino anyway - I simply have not sufficiently recovered from my various 2026 health issues to make to Santiago on my own steam - nonetheless I will make it there with the help of taxi drivers (who are very happy to converse with me, even though we are not both speaking the same language!), and the support and assistance of VQT - but don’t worry, I am not missing out on the fun parts, I am all for celebrating VQT’s walking achievements at the end of each day 💚

Day 1. August 25

  Photo: Church bell tower under viaduct.  Today is called “easy” in our guidebook. It is flat but it is 15 miles.  We head to Esposende along boardwalks passing beaches, sand dunes and old windmills.  Esposende was a village in 1572.  It’s been welcoming pilgrims since 1579.   We’ll take it slow and steady today.  Not that we are ever very fast.  Saw many Camino people yesterday so hoping to meet and talk to some as we put one foot in front of the other…
