Brilliant route and so thankful to David for getting this on the site and providing the idea. 

My days were:

  • Porto to Barcelos,
  • Barcelos to Valenca 
  • Valenca to Pontevedra, and 
  • Pontevedra to Santiago. 

You can see each day via the Strava links. 

The final day was hot but a brilliant run, and really special feeling as I honed in on Santiago. I was buoyed up by toing and froing with some Spanish mountain biker amigos for last 20 miles, who I just managed to beat to the cathedral. 

Total time: 3 days, 5 hours, 7 minutes, 12 seconds. 

I understand Hugo is planning another all in one attempt at this next year, which will be incredible as it's a challenging route with some tough climbs. Wouldn't want to do some of them in the dark. 

It was an unforgettable experience, and I will write it up in a blog at some point and share the link on here.
