We tried to walk the Camino Sanabrés from our home in Ourense to Santiago de Compostela. Unfortunately, the Galician weather decided to turn on us...
We started our walk on April 26, 2024 in Ourense, Spain.
Update: We tried again and we were successful!!! • A Camino Story: There ...
This is our 7th Camino together. We hiked the Camino Frances, Via Podiensis, Camino Primitivo, and Camino de Invierno in 2023, the Camino del Norte in 2019, and the Camino Frances in 2017. We packed ultralight bags for all of our journeys.

Not a failure - health and safety should always come first! Thx for sharing

Thank you! ❤

No bad weather only bad clothing! Good call. I've had hypothermia and it can go from shivering and unpleasant to serious danger very quickly. And the trick is, you don't know when it slips.

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

True! We were super unprepared for it. Oooooh, that's so crazy that hypothermia sneaks up so fast.

Hi from Alberta Canada guys. We have been following you for some time. You never know how the weather is.. But you still keep a smile. Michelle and I(Jack) are going to the France route for six weeks starting August 15. We know what it is like to have to surrender the walk. In 2018 I got food poison in Bayonne the day we started. Made it to Punte la Raine and Michelle had a infected toe nail. So with both of us being ill, we stopped and went to Holland to visit relatives for the rest of our Camino.. So in 3 and half months we will try again. It would be a treat to meet both of you. You are so positive. Keep it up. Jack and Michelle

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

Wow, that's a story. Sounds like you made the right decision to get off the Camino, too. Buen Camino for your next try. You've got this! Let us know if you come through Ourense.

In Spain we have a saying that goes "Hasta el cuarenta de mayo, no te quites el sayo.." which roughly means, until the fortieth of May, don't take out your coat 😉 So yeah, planning a hike in Galicia in shorts at endings of April was a bit daring. Anyway, hope you're being more lucky next time. Nice video like always!

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

That's a great saying. Thanks for sharing it!

You made the right decision to cut it short. You were shaking so much - it did not seem good! Camino's are unpredictable and always have some element of struggle - I guess that's why it's called a pilgrimmage. Thanks for the sharing the reality of the Camino and that just because it doesn't turn out right once, doesn't mean you can't try it again.

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

Agree! The struggle is part of what makes it worthwhile. Thanks for watching!

Glad you guys got out safe. It’s the ‘perfect storm’, literally, for hikers - rainy, with unexpected temp drop in middle of nowhere. You’re literally better off it gets much colder and only snow instead of rain, because you won’t be as soaked, which creates the hypothermia risk. I’ve come to realize that the extra 1 lb for the thick rain poncho (like Altus or Ferrino), that covers the backpack too, provides great protection in such situations. I used it in Galicia in similar conditions as you, rainy but temps below zero (yes, don’t ask me how it can rain below zero), icy ground, but the poncho pulled through. Mountain Hardwear makes great rain paints with long zippers that go up/down the leg so you can take on/off without taking off shoes. As part of my layering system, i can add it on top of everything else during cold rain, or just by itself if warm rain or wind, or just one layer underneath (instead of two) if it’s medium rain. Love that flexibility. Anyway, crazy weather can get anybody at anytime. Jupiter Hikes is a pro, and he almost got hypothermia in similar conditions in Utah. Said it was his scariest trail experience. These kinds of videos are far more valuable than showing everything going right. Thanks for sharing.

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

Thank you. That's so true that it's the absolute worst for hikers. Thanks so much for your recommendations. We'll take a look at the poncho and rain pants. 😍

Camino FRIO! I just did the reverse and walked from Ourense to my home in Santiago. Arrived yesterday. The route is stunningly beautiful, wildly natural paths and so peaceful! Hailed a couple of times but no snow for us. I’ve walked several routes and the Camino Sanabres is my new favorite. 🪻🌹🌳🐦‍⬛🏞️ The sound of rushing water while walking beside the rio and over the large round edged stones, and narrow stone paths, tall green grass and birdsong and flora, ahhhhh so lovely. Every day was better than the last. Ultreía! 👣👣💚 (Last week while researching Ourense, I found your vlog. Thx!)

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

Oh, you got lucky! We agree that it's such a beautiful Camino. It's quintessential Galicia to us.

@placidobaamonde6374 2 месяца назад

La mágica Galicia. Dentro de dos meses esa Galicia invernal se convertirá en un jardín; un paraíso. Estáis en una tierra, Galicia, muy distinta de la idea que los medios españoles transmiten de España. Galicia is different. Una Comunidad Autónoma, nacionalidad según dice la Constitución española, con Santiago de Compostela como capital y ciudad patrimonio de la humanidad. Gracias por mostrar la hermosa Galicia.

Wise decision to turn back! Your visit to Cea has prompted me to throw this out there for your consideration: It would be super cool if you did a vid at the 2024 Cea bread festival, Cea being the "bread capital" of Galicia, or so I'm told 😉 Un saludo!

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the video suggestion! We love Cea bread.

Oh my goodness,you were so right to turn back. To be warm and dry back at home must have been heavenly .

@DaysWeSpend 2 месяца назад

you are so welcome. We know you will smash the Camino next time. Keep those spirits Up. You can see the joy you 2 have on the Camino regardless of the barriers. C’ya Cea!

We are eternally grateful that you two came and picked us up! ❤

Currently on the Camino Portuguese. It’s not as cold, but it’s definitely been wet. I started walking from Tui on Tuesday and it’s been raining since Tuesday. On the good side the temperature has been getting up to around 15 degrees so it’s not that cold. I’ve been keeping plenty warm with just some shorts and long sleeve T-shirt and my Altus poncho (I’m so glad I bought one of those)

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

Glad you're keeping warm! Buen Camino, there's some better weather coming this week!

@jesusordonez4238 3 месяца назад

you guys are so cool... I have been following you for a while. I just finished my Camino Frances and loved it. Thanks for all your fun quirky videos. Keep laughing and having fun. Those who don't laugh are not my kind of people. Saludos

Thanks so much! We hope you had a wonderful Camino.

@mramazingtroy 3 месяца назад

I'm humming and harring about taking rain pants. The forecast next week when i start is rain but it chamging a lot. Last year i froze going over O Cebreiro and ended up running to keep warm. I don't want to add pack weight but being in a position to keep walking even if it is a couple of villages further.

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

Bring them. That's probably a new addition to our packing lists for Spring and Fall. Buen Camino!

Very true words! We're so glad we're home, too.

@grahamwallace 2 месяца назад

I was on the Frances at the same time and it was freezing too. I had to take a taxi to Decathlon outside Burgos in order to buy warm hiking trousers, a jacket and gloves. Didn’t have snow but the wind chill meant the temperature was around 1° in the mornings. Wasn’t expecting such cold weather in April/May in Northern Spain. I’m from Scotland so know what that the cold and wet feels like but I hadn’t packed enough warm clothing so appreciate how cold you must have felt. 🥶 I had to stop at León due to injury but that’s another story. Great video guys!

@DaysWeSpend 2 месяца назад

Oooof! Wow, crazy that the cold was on the Frances, too! You were smart to get supplies at Decathlon. We hope your injury is healing.

@musingwithreba9667 3 месяца назад

Ouch! Lainey, I've been that cold where my thighs are beet red, and it felt like it took days to thaw out! You made the right call to go home and live to do it with all your extremities intact some other day.

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

Thanks! It felt like it took days for us to thaw out, too!

¡Ai, güey! How crazy is a snowstorm there at the end of April?!? For sure y’all made the right move and absolutely no reason to feel even a little defeated. The better part of valor and all that, y’know? And the Camino ain’t going anywhere. You’ll be back at it in no time! 🤙🏽

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

Thank you! Those are wise words. ☺

@denise6658 3 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing your story. Interrupted plans suck but are part of our life journey. Last fall on the Ingles I must have drank from a bad fountain and after 4 days of misery I made the hard decision to train back to Santiago and see a Physician. Have walked other Caminos with no problem

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

Oooooh noooooo! That sounds like absolutely no fun. You made the right decision there.

Sorry to hear the unpredictable weather scuppered your plans. It was a wise decision to stop I didn't know you could do the Camino from Ourense. I'm near Carballino and going through Cea sounds like a great way to start. The bread there is so good.

@DaysWeSpend 3 месяца назад

Thank you. We loved the route out of Ourense. It's definitely worth checking out. We agree, Cea bread is sooooo good. Give us any kind of sourdough any day. Let us know if you come through Ourense sometime!

Kind of weird as locals only having shorts with you. I mean its April. I am from Germany and know to be better prepared. April is never a stable weather.
