Day 34: Portomarín – Palas de Rei

June 9

Walking distance: 24, 5 kilometres

The following day Philipp joined Jens and me for a few hours and we talked for ages about religions, religious people and our own belief systems. Philipp had not been very religious, but was and is blessed with a lot of curiosity. After his stay in the monastery, he did not embrace Christianity, but had found some understanding and respect for it. Philipp’s stories about his experiences in the monastery made me want to go back and stay in that very same monastery. What a great camino experience to make!
