10º Dia - 48km até o Caminho Francês, de A Seixas x O Pedrouzo: Caminho Primitivo

On the 10th day of the Primitive Way, the journey tackles an ultramarathon-style stage of 48.5 km from A Seixas to O Pedrouzo (Arca), challenging physical limits in the final stretch. This episode records the historic meeting of the Primitive Way with the bustling French Way in the village of Melide, known for its 14th-century wayside cross and traditional octopus market. The route continues at a brisk pace through Arzúa and extensive eucalyptus forests, showcasing the brutal transition in pace and the intense flow of pilgrims. An impressive demonstration of endurance and overcoming challenges, just a step away from Santiago de Compostela, ideal for those seeking inspiration and planning for long distances. 📌 VIDEO CHAPTERS 00:00 - Introduction and Breakfast in A Seixas 00:03:53 - Tour of the A Seixas Public Hostel 00:06:50 - Start of the 10th Day's Journey 00:08:40 - Meeting Pilgrims and Expectations 00:12:30 - Top of the Last Climb of the Primitive Way 00:14:45 - Reflection on the Way: The "Stone in the Shoe" 00:19:50 - Traditional Villages and Churches of Galicia 00:24:37 - Arrival in Melide and Junction with the French Way 00:25:50 - Chapel of São Roque and Historical Wayside Cross 00:27:40 - Tasting the Traditional Galician Octopus at the Pulpería 00:31:40 - Departing from Melide and Hydration in the Heat 00:35:00 - Curiosities of the Way and Bathing in Brazil 00:39:40 - Passing through Boente and the Increase in Pilgrims 00:45:20 - Arrival in Arzúia 00:47:40 - Stop for Ice Cream and Rest in Arzúia 00:51:00 - 34km to Santiago de Compostela! 00:54:20 - Behind the Scenes of Content Creation: Costs, Challenges, and Purpose on YouTube 00:58:30 - Arrival in O Pedrouzo after a 48km walk 01:00:30 - Dinner at the Hostel and End of the Day ⸻ Ricardo Santana 🚴🏼‍♂️ 🥾 Pilgrimage by Bike and on Foot since 2022 🌎 🇧🇷 🇦🇷 🇨🇱 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇬🇷 🇮🇹 🇹🇷 🇦🇲 🇬🇪 🇳🇴 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇵🇹 🇫🇮 🇸🇪 ⸻ 🙏🏽 BECOME A MEMBER AND SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://abre.ai/oMhr *Also works for those living in Europe ⸻ 📽️ WATCH THE PLAYLISTS: 🎞️ Camino de Santiago de Compostela on Foot 1,000km 🇫🇷 🇪🇸: https://abre.ai/oMfe 🎞️ Santiago to Finisterre:    • DE SANTIAGO A FINISTERRA, A BENÇÃO FINAL D...   🎞️ Learn about my story 01 (before 2023):    • Conheça minha História - Cicloviagem Santa...   🎞️ Learn about my story 02 (2023 to 2026)    • CONHEÇA MINHA HISTÓRIA - Parte 02 - Ricard...   *The channel has a playlist for each country I've been to and also for my journey of faith, check it out. ➖ 🎵 🎶 Music Playlist: YouTube: https://abre.ai/no0X Spotify: https://abre.ai/oMhK • Instagram:   / rica_santana   ⸻ 📩 Partnerships: [email protected] 🙏 Thank you to everyone who follows the journey!
