Day 28, early start as usual. As I said before, the last 100 km was filling with pilgrims. It was fun to see their excitement as they wished you a Buen Camino! I hope they didn't take my lack of excitement negatively. It was after 400 plus miles and thousands of "Buen Caminos", it was becoming more of a going through the motion rather than an emotion.
It is really amazing how the scenery changes across all of Spain. The menus, housing and weather is a bit different as you walk.

The last several kilometers have a few hills, but not the major mountains encountered in the beginning leaving St Jean Pied de Port and approaching O'Cebreiro. The walk today was full of pilgrims. The last bit, is a combination of highway and wooded trails.
As I approached O Pedrouzo (Arca) the albergues and town was to the left off of the Camino. It was a small climb into town, I stopped at the first albergue and had to wait an hour before it opened. It had 120 beds and was located next to a supermarket. This made it easy shopping to create my own dinner for the night.
