Day 13: Liendo to Güemes – 18.64 miles (30 km)

Today marked our longest hike yet on the Camino. After so many days on the trail, conversations among pilgrims have taken a familiar turn: aching feet, sore knees, stiff shoulders, tired backs, heat rashes, and, of course, blisters. These are the badges of long-distance hiking, worn with a mix of pride and pain. We joke about the toll it’s taking now and wonder—half seriously—how many surgeries might be in our future.
