[Voice-over] Hard day today.
My foot hurts a lot, I spent a terrible night.
With the feeling of vomiting and horrible.
Let's see what today brings us. Come on.
[Voice-over] After waking up early so that to avoid the sun while walking
we start the walk.
I was warming up mu feet for the terrible climb to O Cabreiro.
Hi! Good morning.
I'd like to have a "colacao" and toasts with olive oil and tomato.
[Voice-over] I went on crossing villages.
The hairstyle that has the cameraman today. Uy, uy, uy.
Today he isn't wearing nor the headband nor anything. He's said:"Me? My hair on the wind"
You remember the playmobils, don't you?
They had their hair like helmets.
- Hi! Good morning. - Good morning.
Look at the sights. You get up and see green .
[Voice-over] Life goes on appart from the walk of the pilgrim.
And we suppose start climbing to O Cebreiro now.
[Voice-over] And the hardest moment of the Way arrives.
I was thinking about the difficulty of climbing up
and that if I went without my backsack, it would be easier.
But I was also thinking that life is like this too.
Although you have many things
The most important one is to find the strength that allows you overcome obstacles.
And if you have so many things on you, because they are necessary,
Why cannot do without them??
Well, gather more strength and go on
and climb up stones like a madwoman.
- High hill, isn't it? - Ufff, and there is much left.
- Not less. Stay apart here.
- ¿Do you climb up and down everyday? - Every day, each day.
- The one who works, me, twice.
- And you climb up. - an oldy. Climb up? of course then.
But well, at the moment, we are getting on.
How brave! puff. What a different life from mine.
[Voice-over] The landscapes give me strength to go on.
What hills?, but lool how wonderful. How immense.
How much countryside, how many flowers, how green!.
- May I take it to you two? - Oh, yes, yes.
There are insects of every kind, aren't there?
Big-headed, less big-headed, flying insects, with red legs, with green legs... Which will be their mission?
Will that village be O Cebreiro?
Or will we have to climb a lot more?
It's so hot!
- Are you tired? - Absolutely.
Never more tired.
Do you see?
Ey ey, What's that over there? Take it, take it, take it.
There is a type of ant, which lives in the amazon area,
those do bite because they are fierce.
But these ants..., they don't bite!
But, have you seen how they were with the insect, and is has... .
We arrive Lugo.
How hard the climb is, isn't it?
There are so many kilometers left...
And we have spent ten days. Is this our tenth day?
There is a lot left.
I don't know where pilgrims are, because we have started so early.
I don't think they cut corners and don't climb this way, do you?
I think they climb other way because in other case, we would have seen more people here.
[Voice-over] And in O Cebreiro I can feel I'm nearer Santiago.
We are from Ciudad Real, we live in Madrid and started in León.
And, why do you do your Way to Santiago?
Because we are different.
People go to the beach, but we don't.
Do we have to go to the way to Santiago? Then, to the Way to Santiago.
Do we have to go to the fair tomorrow? Then, to the fairs.
Do we have to take care of mum? Then, we take care of mum.
We want to go to see Santiago, up to the end. Cheers Alberto.
Beside, look! Will we go to Madrid or Santiago? Although he doesn't speak.
To Santiago.
He knows where he's going.
- Slowly, are you going slowly? - Very slowly.
One foot in front of the other.
- I wish you a good Way. - So do we.
- Ok, thank you. - God bless you.
God bless you too. See you!
[Voice-over] Every one does their Way at their own pace.
[Voice-over] There are no rules.
[Voice-over] And I go on walking.
[Voice-over] My pain doesn't stop after the breaks.
What about lunch?
Let's have something to eat.
Where can we sit, Mauri? Here?
Will anyone ring the bell?
I can't.
How far is the next village?
- A little, isn't it? - One kilometre.
Ok, thank you.
[Voice-over] I arrive my goal today.
Well, we've arrived our destiny today.
Its name is... don't tell me, don't tell me.
"Fuenfría".
Which has been the surprise when arriving the hostel today?
There is a Cuban man dancing salsa!.
So, tonight promises.
Well, let's have a walk around the village.
You must be so careful, because look at my pilgrim feet
and look at the pilgrim road.
Uy, How many cows!
Each ones see things according to where they live.
And before resting, the day holds for me a great present.
My love, from Fonfría to the world, Cuba.
[Voice-over] When dancing, you forget your pains.
[Claps]
[Voice-over] A different hostel
[Voice-over] run by a woman with a wide open mind
[Voice-over] in a closed place.
I live here, with this job, it is as if I didn't work.
And, how is it that you keep in touch with latinos?
Because the first one I met was Pedro.
He stayed because he was on holidays,
He also stayed because we became registered partners or just cohabitant.
What do the village people think about a galician woman bringing the Latino world here in a sudden?
Yes, it shocked a lot. Above all,
people here are so suspicious.
I've had problems even with the mayor.
We live as a family, as friends, dancing... We make the beds dancing
It's just a philosophy of life.
[Voice-over] Once more, I become aware of the different
[Voice-over] ways people have in their lives.
[Voice-over] Here things have a different value.
[Voice-over] Codes are different.
[Voice-over] I'm writing my travel diary listening "son Cubano"
[Voice-over] and watching galician landscapes throughout my window.
[Voice-over] Contrasts, just like life.
