I made it to Ourense. Basically it was mountains the entire way from Puebla de Sanabria. The ascents were 2000-2500 ft is my guestament. I had to do one 'overdo it' walk. That was 14.5 hours from Puebla de Sanabria to A Gudina, about 56km. I stumbled into Gudina about 9pm absolutely exhausted. The challenge for me is doing the 56k and then weathering the aftermath. I am still trying to manage the second part. I managed to do 36km to Laza, 34km to some town thats name starts with an X (Xumquiera do Ambria?)and then 22km to Ourense. This is while enduring a heat wave here. I am 100km plus away from Santiago as the area here bakes. The flies are all hatching in the heat, especially here which is a traditionally moist climate like Oregon. The humidity index is at 90% which forces up the temp (heat index) from 90degrees to over 100degrees plus.
I have some decent photos which I will post once in Santiago.
