In this exhilarating leg of The Travel Vlogger's Camino de Santiago adventure, the journey takes a thrilling turn from La Caridad to Baamonde, spanning days 26 to 30. The team embarks on a riveting coastal trek, through lush forests and picturesque farmlands, encountering the charming town of Tapia de Casariego along the way. Bidding farewell to the coast, they venture towards Santiago, with a stop at the awe-inspiring Playa del Murallón o Maleguas, savoring the last beach views before heading inland.
Crossing into Galicia, the landscape transforms as they reach Ribadeo and Lourenza, where the team explores the magnificent San Salvador de Villanueva Monastery. The journey continues with a challenging climb, forging new friendships, and culminating in the historic town of Mondoñedo, steeped in rich culture and history. As the peregrino nears Santiago, the profound impact of the Camino on local communities becomes increasingly evident, adding a deeper layer of significance to their pilgrimage.
Traversing through enchanting eucalyptus forests and rolling hills of Galicia, the team is enveloped in a mystical fog, painting the terrain in an ethereal light. The verdant landscapes, dotted with grazing lands and hills, showcase the region's unparalleled natural beauty. Amidst the biologist's dream of mushroom-filled fields and the rustling of leaves signaling the onset of winter, the peregrino encounters fellow travelers on horseback, adding a touch of adventure to the journey. The day culminates in Vilalba, where a bustling local market offers a glimpse into the region's vibrant culture, before a rainy trek to Baamonde brings Episode 6 to a dramatic close.
