Episode 29 - The Lighthouse Way

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,300 I'm Vince and I'm Emily you're listening to the lighthouse lowdown 2 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,860 We're using our new setup for the first official 3 00:00:17,980 --> 00:00:23,400 Recording we are although it seems to keep changing the setup. There's little parts of change. Yeah 4 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:30,480 So I have to change headphones right now for example, so where are the other headphones they in the bin? 5 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:38,760 There's some right here like those. Okay, I sound like a robot from Transformers. Why Transformers specifically it just sounds like the 6 00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:42,240 You know the divergent computer 7 00:00:44,260 --> 00:00:52,020 I've never seen Transformers any of them. No, well the first one's good. I think most people would agree. All right 8 00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:54,020 today 9 00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:56,140 is the day 10 00:00:56,340 --> 00:00:58,340 And I can't find my mouse 11 00:00:58,660 --> 00:01:06,440 Okay, I have a buoy also apologies to everybody for this podcast coming out a little bit late because I 12 00:01:06,980 --> 00:01:08,980 Had to recover from travel 13 00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:12,820 Lots and lots of time zone changes. Where were you Emily? 14 00:01:12,820 --> 00:01:18,100 I went to Sweden and then I went to Spain and then I went to Japan 15 00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:21,540 That's wild. Yeah, and our listeners got to hear episodes on 16 00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:24,700 Sweden and a Japanese lighthouse 17 00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:31,380 A dream come true. Okay. Have you ever heard of a range light on a lighthouse? No 18 00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:34,060 It's a thing. Oh 19 00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:39,340 You can see it on the screen. Oh, I won't look I won't show the this to the people but so a range 20 00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:46,680 Light or a range lighthouse is when there are two lights that appear on the horizon on a lighthouse 21 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,180 So there's two lights coming from one source and the purpose of those lights 22 00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:56,140 Is that when you align the two lights when they appear to be one light, then you know, you're on a correct 23 00:01:56,780 --> 00:01:57,940 lineage 24 00:01:57,940 --> 00:02:01,740 Yes, so this is description. They're both in the same lantern room 25 00:02:02,380 --> 00:02:06,140 Where are they? No, they're out ones on a tower ones on the light room 26 00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:09,560 So range lighthouses appear as two lights on the horizon 27 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:15,220 However, when you line them up correctly, they appear as one atop the other or one behind the other 28 00:02:15,220 --> 00:02:19,340 A Mariner would then know that they are on the correct path into the channel 29 00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:23,660 So it's like the two lights are in two different locations 30 00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:28,100 Two different locations or they're above and below or in front or behind 31 00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:32,140 Or there's two in the tower. I didn't see any details on it 32 00:02:32,140 --> 00:02:35,620 There are not very many of them, but I assume this is one you talked about recently 33 00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:38,500 Somewhere that had a weird color light on a tower 34 00:02:38,660 --> 00:02:39,140 Yeah 35 00:02:39,140 --> 00:02:45,740 That one's a little different because it's there's no direction you could travel in which they would overlap because they're being shared in the same 36 00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:49,700 Tower but pretty far apart. So I think that was something else but 37 00:02:50,540 --> 00:02:55,060 They would line up I guess. Yeah. Okay. We're gonna go back to Spain 38 00:02:55,580 --> 00:02:58,740 What yep, you left Spain behind the dust 39 00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:01,980 We did not 40 00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:04,020 And we're gonna go back to Spain 41 00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:10,660 There's a trail we're gonna talk about okay, so it's a hiking path that is on the coast 42 00:03:10,660 --> 00:03:14,900 We're gonna show you the map and everything. It's a great website that we're gonna shout out like 20 times Oh 43 00:03:15,540 --> 00:03:17,540 Camino dos Feroz 44 00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:20,860 the lighthouse way, okay, so it is a 45 00:03:23,860 --> 00:03:29,780 Why we need to stop picking lighthouses where we have to pronounce things it's hard enough for it to be most most of the 46 00:03:29,780 --> 00:03:31,460 World is that way? 47 00:03:31,460 --> 00:03:35,060 Yeah, and I don't speak any Spanish if you didn't tell that already 48 00:03:35,620 --> 00:03:37,620 Can't even order so 49 00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:43,140 We struggled in Madrid. Okay, you know does fair us first thing. Let's go to the map 50 00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:46,580 So I can show you where it's at. This map is also from the same website 51 00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:50,980 We're gonna shout out if you want the source, but if you zoom out you can see 52 00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:53,940 This is all of Spain 53 00:03:54,540 --> 00:03:55,820 here 54 00:03:55,820 --> 00:03:57,820 Mm-hmm. So 55 00:03:57,860 --> 00:04:00,340 Portugal north of Portugal the far north 56 00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:05,740 West coast is where this is at and along this route there are 57 00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:10,020 At least eight maybe 11 lighthouses 58 00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:13,540 Oh, I say that because I see a couple contradicting sources 59 00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:19,660 What but I think there might be multiple lighthouses at one of the locations maybe or several locations 60 00:04:19,660 --> 00:04:23,660 I got an older and newer build. They're not like official or something 61 00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:25,940 Yeah 62 00:04:25,940 --> 00:04:31,900 One of them is a lighthouse. I'm gonna cover eventually I can see you have it on there. It's Tara. It's Tara 63 00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:35,740 Yeah, so we'll talk about that too. I won't talk about it in detail. Okay 64 00:04:37,820 --> 00:04:44,460 You speak more Spanish than I do it's hoppa does that mean stop sure we have a 65 00:04:46,220 --> 00:04:50,680 French friend a French friend a Spanish friend who will correct us on what? 66 00:04:51,020 --> 00:04:54,300 Yeah, we don't know. I don't know. Don't listen to him. I don't know Spanish 67 00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:57,960 I I just took Spanish like ten years ago 68 00:04:59,940 --> 00:05:01,940 Yeah, we are gonna watch a video okay, and 69 00:05:03,260 --> 00:05:05,300 This is the website coming us 70 00:05:06,580 --> 00:05:14,180 Okay, me no does Ferros the lighthouse way. So this is already translated for us, but this website is a nonprofit group 71 00:05:17,020 --> 00:05:22,740 Trusky are what they call themselves. They're volunteers and nonprofit and they just for this lighthouse or 72 00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:27,860 Or a collection for the the area. Oh the route the hiking route 73 00:05:27,860 --> 00:05:31,900 Okay, and the hiking route is there's the map again 74 00:05:32,620 --> 00:05:34,340 hiking route is 75 00:05:34,340 --> 00:05:36,340 detailed in their video 76 00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:41,460 But yeah, so 200 kilometers I have the conversion I think it's like a hundred 77 00:05:41,940 --> 00:05:46,580 20 yeah hundred twenty four miles. So people have let me rewind I 78 00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:54,220 Found an article which got me started on this subject. The article was from I think the New York Times 79 00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:57,260 It's below we'll go over it soon. Okay, but this lady 80 00:05:58,980 --> 00:06:00,980 What do you call an article writer 81 00:06:02,060 --> 00:06:04,620 Author yeah, well this author 82 00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:11,180 Journalist is I think the word is going for went to Spain to go on this trip 83 00:06:11,180 --> 00:06:14,920 Oh, and they talked about doing it in six days 84 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,160 So she did it in six days alone 85 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,600 There's recommendations on this website for eight days or ten days 86 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,160 so she was booking it she was booking it and 87 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,160 I think the eight day is like the standard and they talk about 88 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,920 Being on your feet for like eight or nine hours a day. Okay, so that includes time for stopping that includes 89 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:42,120 These towns you'll walk through spending time at lighthouses and beaches and such so the the path was put together 90 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:48,040 By this group and what they what they put together. So it's a series of beach paths like a national 91 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,480 That's not national park but national park ish area. Yeah, fisherman's paths protected and then just kind of local maps 92 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:01,080 So they're all pieced together. So if you average it out ten days, you'd be going 12 miles a day 93 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,600 so to me that doesn't sound like a lot for hiking but I 94 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,880 Don't know just depends. Just so everyone knows 95 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,560 Vince and I are very different in our ideas of a good time 96 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,040 Hiking is not one of those things 97 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,880 that I 98 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:22,120 Would elect to participate in while on vacation. I go on vacation just to hike so so 99 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,760 You can send me postcards 100 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,000 So here we go eight sections of an average of nine hours per section 101 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,680 Which I like and that they tell you that builds in the pace of taking photos and stopping 102 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:41,480 This is the topographical map of the ups and downs. What's the time layout if you were to drive this instead? 103 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:48,920 Let's look at the map again. I don't know that you can drive all of it. Oh, yeah, it looks 104 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,920 Yeah, the highways are inland 105 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,640 So there's I'm sure there are roads to all of this 106 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,720 It's like a mess it talks about how all of this hike it's kind of interesting all this hike is 107 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,240 On popularized areas. They're not highly dense population. I actually have a population map of Spain 108 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,440 But like there are there are people around very few of them are doing this hike 109 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,240 So it's not like a really popular trail 110 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,360 But every town you you plan to stop in town so you can stay at hotels airbnbs 111 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,800 Guest houses, there's lots of different places to stay. That's cool. And it's hugs the 112 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,640 Coastline the entire time. So you can stay at the hotel 113 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,480 The coastline the entire time so you'd never are too far away from the ocean 114 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,640 Yep, and I was going to show photos this whole time, but we'll just watch the video at the end 115 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,720 It's like four four and a half minutes. Okay 116 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:43,480 Um, it's beautiful. It's just gorgeous. So and for those that are listening to the podcast you can 117 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,280 Go to the show notes and watch the video on your own. I'll just cut out audio. That's 118 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,200 We can post some photos too, but yeah, we'll cut out that audio 119 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,280 So they're not just listening to the audio the video already made for us 120 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,280 um, but 121 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,680 Yeah, so it's along beaches along the coast. There's lots of places to stay. There's lots of good food 122 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,640 I'll talk about I have a comment on the food in spain in uh, the article 123 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000 And all right 124 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,200 I could be convinced to do this hike. It just you were gonna 125 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,760 You were gonna force me to go on a hike sometime 126 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,400 I mean there's so like I was able to go on a hike once it was only 35 miles 127 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,880 but it was 128 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:32,760 Very very treacherous as far as change in elevation goes is in alaska, alaska 35 miles. You're saying this one's how long? 129 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,400 Well, this is longer 130 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,360 In time and in distance 124 miles distance 131 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,880 That is bogus for like eight days. We did ours in five 132 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,080 So we went up and down look up the golden staircase if you're interested 133 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,200 It's a big change in elevation. I take it back. I don't want to do this one and the chill cute drill anyways 134 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:58,600 But this so like that hike I did in alaska. We were out in the middle of nowhere. We had a satellite phone 135 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,560 you know, we brought everything in on our backpacks and we camped and 136 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,040 This is a very different type of hike. So this you'd be staying in hotels. You'd be having showers 137 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,680 You'd be eating out potentially at nice dinners 138 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,640 Um depends on how much money and time you want to spend but 139 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,880 They'll set this up for you 140 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,840 If you want to pay them there's a package where they'll set it up for the certain days and they'll hook you up with 141 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,040 different 142 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,920 Um places to stay and then there are even options if you want to not carry your baggage 143 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,880 So you can start on your day and have someone take your luggage if you want 144 00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,960 In a car and they'll drive to where you're going to end up for the night 145 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,800 So you can just have your little day pack on you. This is like sissy hiking 146 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,800 Well, sissy hardcore hiking. It's yeah, it's not nothing. It's moderate difficulty 147 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:52,360 There are again multiple sources that conflict one another on how difficult this is the lady who wrote the article 148 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,800 uh was talking about baseball sized calluses and 149 00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:58,680 On her feet. Yeah 150 00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:00,760 And some people in the comments were saying no 151 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,240 Well, she did it in like breakneck speed. She did didn't even have a suggestion for that type of speed 152 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,320 She wrecked it ralph. So 153 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:16,760 This is fisterra. I read that means uh land's end. Yeah, uh monica said it's like the lighthouse or 154 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,320 Oh, is this what we're looking at? She told us the lighthouse at the end of the world or something 155 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,240 Yeah, nice 156 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,520 So this in the article was covered as the most populated area that the hiker saw 157 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,160 Okay, and it's a termination of this trail. So you go north to south. Oh, I see it said 158 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,280 Bring sun gear sun lotion sunscreen sunglasses because you're going to be facing west 159 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,280 the whole time 160 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,280 um essentially 161 00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:45,720 But yeah, really interesting. I'm gonna go back to the website. The website is so good 162 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,320 I really don't typically like to single source my info 163 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,240 so much but 164 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,440 But it had it all it had it all and it also the purpose of the website is to promote people going to the region 165 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,720 Okay, it's like a travel so they did a good job group. Yeah, so it has it hasn't been stages here 166 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:07,800 Because we are the lighthouse lowdown. We got to look at this part of their website 167 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,960 The focus on the lighthouses on the lighthouse way. This is the page that shows eight lighthouses.

We certainly can but I have not seen 185 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:27,240 A trail like this and I assume there are others maybe in the united states too where it's a lighthouse hike 186 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,600 I think that's really neat. I've never seen that is cool. I've seen that lined out especially a website that's dedicated to it 187 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:38,040 So there's 11 lighthouses mentioned in the article eight of them I found on the website. Yeah, that's where I was 188 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,800 It's just like that 189 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:45,560 There's a couple in one location and they just they put the most popular one and then it's like oh if you want to go 190 00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:49,000 Out of your way, there's no more here.

Oh, this is that was why I wanted to talk about this 201 00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:29,900 This is apparently the capital seafood for spain. What is this coast? 202 00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:34,860 It's like the best it's like most of the food I guess that they're known for in the area 203 00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:37,500 Talks about each one.

I bet a lot of fish died too 219 00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:32,940 There's there's one reference where there's over a hundred people that died and I think three that survived on that shipwreck 220 00:15:33,340 --> 00:15:36,780 So obviously there's been a need for lighthouses in this region throughout history 221 00:15:36,780 --> 00:15:42,460 Yeah, and that explains why they're all in this area, but it is the the coast of death so said 222 00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:48,380 So yeah, and they talk about a group of local friends started piecing the caminio together in 2013 223 00:15:48,780 --> 00:15:53,180 Fisherman's paths farm tracks beaches livestock trails and the occasional back road 224 00:15:53,740 --> 00:15:56,780 So that's kind of where all this came together. She's talking about the group 225 00:15:57,420 --> 00:16:03,500 Okay, the website so uh, here's she's talking about how many people 320,000 in 2018 hiked 226 00:16:04,220 --> 00:16:07,260 The most popular trail caminio de santiago 227 00:16:07,820 --> 00:16:08,700 so 228 00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:15,020 So there's not a lot of people she said she had passed five other people on the busiest day of this trail 229 00:16:15,580 --> 00:16:18,460 When she happened to go i'm sure there's seasonality to it, right? 230 00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:28,460 Yeah, here she talks about some of the food so spanish word for gooseneck barnacle and galatian octopus though 231 00:16:28,940 --> 00:16:30,300 And she's all set 232 00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:32,300 She had to figure those out to order. Okay 233 00:16:32,860 --> 00:16:35,660 Barnacles are a regional delicacy and what many fishermen 234 00:16:35,660 --> 00:16:42,060 A pass on the trail are harvesting from the steep cliffs of the trails passes above that the trail passes above 235 00:16:42,860 --> 00:16:48,860 Uh local preparation of octopus is to slice it into discs saute it in olive oil and top it with paprika 236 00:16:49,420 --> 00:16:52,300 Serve it on a wooden platter. That sounds delicious. I would love to try that 237 00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:56,380 She exaggerates a lot. She talks about boats and waves sounding like gunfire 238 00:16:57,260 --> 00:17:01,120 And so hey, we don't know if she's exaggerating it seems exaggerated 239 00:17:01,820 --> 00:17:04,140 Because if you go down, these are all the credits 240 00:17:04,140 --> 00:17:09,580 And if you go down to the comments, that is what originally got me excited about this 241 00:17:09,740 --> 00:17:15,900 A lot of these credit, um, a lot of the credits are for restaurants.

Yeah, everything I just said 251 00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:50,460 So she's just like she's criticizing her like this is not a reasonable way to hike the trail. Of course 252 00:17:50,460 --> 00:17:54,860 She had a bad experience. Oh, she was trashing it. I thought she was saying that it was good 253 00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:58,700 And she and so okay, so a lot of this article 254 00:17:58,700 --> 00:18:02,700 I i i i've read and I haven't illustrated to you is uh 255 00:18:03,820 --> 00:18:07,020 Her complaining and talking about herself.

All right, and did she do the 257 00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:17,740 The lighthouse way exactly or she just the reason why she did the trail on her own.

Yeah, I can't remember a there's a quote in one of the comments that was like 289 00:20:42,380 --> 00:20:47,900 You know, it's like kind of poorly translated like it would be a fool to wear tennis shoes or something like that 290 00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:52,300 It would be a fool's errand or something. Yeah, something made me smile 291 00:20:53,260 --> 00:20:58,220 But google translate doing its best. I'm thinking all these places that you you'd be 292 00:20:58,780 --> 00:21:01,580 crossing through are really pretty but if 293 00:21:01,580 --> 00:21:07,340 You're going to be working so hard to get from a to b. I wonder how much you'd actually be able to enjoy 294 00:21:08,540 --> 00:21:10,540 Uh, like each of these places 295 00:21:10,540 --> 00:21:14,220 You know, it's like you would travel and stay somewhere and get to see everything 296 00:21:14,220 --> 00:21:21,260 It's like are you just seeing it while you're passing or are you going and getting to experience it without being? 297 00:21:22,220 --> 00:21:25,020 Dead tired.

Yeah 301 00:21:38,780 --> 00:21:42,540 I think it'd be cool. But yeah, I think hiking boots camera 302 00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:50,860 Water maybe a snack or two some twinkies in the bag sunscreen be fueled up. So is this one you're thinking of? Uh, no, it's 303 00:21:52,620 --> 00:21:53,900 Well 304 00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:56,620 Do some research and then i'll do an episode on it 305 00:21:56,620 --> 00:22:00,940 All right. All right. Yeah, so short one today. I don't know. It's just cool 306 00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:05,900 I think uh, there'd be a hike dedicated to seeing lighthouses. That's gonna be it. We're done 307 00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:12,220 All right technical difficulties over here in the pod we've left it alone for too long 308 00:22:12,460 --> 00:22:14,140 It's a rough day getting back to it 309 00:22:14,140 --> 00:22:17,180 But that's what happens when you have awesome adventures all over the world 310 00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:21,340 You got to come home and get your podcast back up to speed. Yeah, you got to get everything straightened back out 311 00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:27,340 Yep, but that's a very cool topic. I like that and one of these days will cover each of the lighthouses that they have 312 00:22:28,220 --> 00:22:30,780 On this trail. Well, that's the thing because I just saw it on the screen 313 00:22:30,860 --> 00:22:36,620 Okay up there the green arrow by the little guy. Yeah, little trotsky. They have those painted along the trail 314 00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:43,180 So they help you to know that you're still on path. That's good fun fact. I'd be stressed out for like 315 00:22:43,820 --> 00:22:49,260 How do they keep it? Do they come by and repaint it often or yeah trail management? Okay, it's like everywhere neat 316 00:22:49,260 --> 00:22:51,820 I don't know anything about hiking so my grandpa 317 00:22:52,860 --> 00:22:59,020 Did trail management when he was a young man like with a chainsaw and an axe? Oh my gosh in the middle of washington state 318 00:22:59,740 --> 00:23:01,820 so just make sure it's like passable and 319 00:23:03,660 --> 00:23:08,220 I would not have guessed that's a job you could have yeah, cool, especially back in the day 320 00:23:09,180 --> 00:23:12,780 So, all right.
