Muros Noia Camino, Day 1, Muros to Punta Uia.
Friday, 18 September 2026, 17.3 kms walked.
We stopped at this beach to eat our picnic lunch.
Most of today's walking was through wooded areas with plenty of shade. Quite a lot of eucalyptus but also pines as well as oak and Chestnut trees. There were a few hills but the highest elevation was 100 metres above sea level.
We started out at 8 am thinking we would only walk 14.7 and get a taxi for the last bit to our hotel. This was because the Hotel Rustico is 2.6 kms off the Camino route and involved walking on the main road in the hottest part of the day.
Leaving Muros.
The mussel barges offshore from Muros. There are 200 of these barges in the estuary.
Coffee stop mid morning.
When we reached the bar where we were planning to arrange a taxi the locals found it amusing that the only taxi driver in that area had just sat down at one of the tables to tuck into a huge meal complete with a bottle of red wine. So we had to walk on after all. We reached our hotel at 4 pm. We welcomed that cooling shower.
This is not a well known Camino. We only met three other pilgrims today, three fellows who passed us as we left Muros. We never caught up with them. This meant we were alone on the Camino pathways. This makes for a quiet and reflective walk, just how we like it. 😊
Amie- is that person in the photo next to Granny an actual living person or a statue? Soph- did the mussels barge into you?
