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. I'm pretty sure
168
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:15,780
uh
169
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:17,780
nariga
170
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,120
Lighthouse oh rukundu. I cannot pronounce anything. It's okay lighthouse and locks
171
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000
villain
172
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,280
Muxia
173
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,440
What would you say there just
174
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,440
Muxia
175
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,440
Muxia turin on
176
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,200
So it goes I shouldn't be chiming in i'm not the person oh, yeah, we're having me wait
177
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,120
I only saw like five one two three four. No. Oh those are
178
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:58,920
That says islands yeah, I assume there's lighthouse on the island. Oh, I see it's in the distance click on it
179
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,920
Yeah, there it is
180
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:03,960
Right behind the drop down that comes in front of the mouse
181
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:05,960
so
182
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,200
um the the main thing I wanted to talk about today is just this trail and then
183
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,000
I thought about talking about all of these lighthouses and I thought that'd be too much for one episode
184
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:20,040
Yeah, we can split it if we want to look into more spain's 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. Right. Let's see if I can find this
191
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,800
population density
192
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,880
Of spain this is where
193
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,420
The Finisterra is yeah kind of get a reference
194
00:13:58,220 --> 00:14:01,740
Of that area and then I wanted to show you so this is their
195
00:14:03,340 --> 00:14:05,340
pamphlet document that they actually
196
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:07,900
publish in HD
197
00:14:08,140 --> 00:14:11,500
So it talks about d. Yeah, so it talks about the group
198
00:14:13,020 --> 00:14:18,940
Look at that. Oh, it looks good eight sections eight lighthouses ten villages fishing ports
199
00:14:19,740 --> 00:14:20,860
birds
200
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:25,580
Food just looks incredible. 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 like the little
204
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,300
Typographical kind of expect how steep it's going to be that day. Oh god that one looked bad
205
00:14:42,700 --> 00:14:44,700
so this article i'm going to show you
206
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:47,100
this lady just
207
00:14:48,140 --> 00:14:49,980
She had her own opinion
208
00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:52,300
dina mishave this is the one that
209
00:14:52,940 --> 00:14:54,940
Uh hiked it in less than a week. Yeah
210
00:14:55,260 --> 00:14:59,260
Yeah, so i've told you some of some of the outtakes that I remember and I highlighted a couple things
211
00:14:59,260 --> 00:15:01,260
I wanted to show you. Okay
212
00:15:01,260 --> 00:15:03,260
From her article that I thought were interesting
213
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:05,420
the coast of death
214
00:15:05,420 --> 00:15:06,700
so that's
215
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:08,140
Costa de morta
216
00:15:08,140 --> 00:15:13,500
Right is the that's this area and so it was named that from british sailors
217
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:19,740
According to her british sailors who there are several notable really big fish fish wrecks
218
00:15:22,060 --> 00:15:24,940
Ship wrecks. 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. So if you want to look at what food we're talking about
242
00:17:16,140 --> 00:17:17,580
That's right
243
00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:18,620
um
244
00:17:18,620 --> 00:17:22,300
This person talks about how an experienced trekker would never do
245
00:17:23,660 --> 00:17:26,780
Never do the route that she did in the number of days she did
246
00:17:27,660 --> 00:17:29,660
giant blisters, of course
247
00:17:29,660 --> 00:17:35,660
Uh, everything is as pretty as it is on instagram. Everybody's a secret superhero. All you need is some fashionable gear, right?
248
00:17:36,140 --> 00:17:37,420
so american
249
00:17:37,420 --> 00:17:38,860
oh
250
00:17:38,860 --> 00:17:43,820
Brutal what what are they saying that she did a bad job? 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. Oh, I see. Yeah, okay
256
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:10,700
So that's where these comments come from. 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. She just went on her own
258
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:24,220
This person maybe this made me smile. So do you remember yamon? I can't pronounce it right but from spain
259
00:18:24,220 --> 00:18:30,140
Yeah, the ham we had everywhere. There was a museum of yamon in madrid where we stayed so
260
00:18:30,700 --> 00:18:33,420
Uh, this person was talking about being from glacia spain
261
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:37,020
Did you spend a week there and not even call the ham by its proper name?
262
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:41,180
She called it prosciutto. Really? And she's a journalist a shame
263
00:18:42,220 --> 00:18:44,220
My god brutal. Yeah
264
00:18:44,380 --> 00:18:48,780
Uh glacia, it's a hidden treasure most americans never know about mostly
265
00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:54,860
This person says they're suggesting that it's better that the tourists don't know about it because of the quality of tourists
266
00:18:57,980 --> 00:19:03,580
She must have i'll have to read this article she must have been this must have been just a very poor article
267
00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:07,740
Yeah, I liked I liked the very last comment because it's the last positive light
268
00:19:08,060 --> 00:19:11,820
It's like despite the writer's bad attitude poor intro and predictable end of the story
269
00:19:12,060 --> 00:19:14,300
I did read the article and I want to take this trip
270
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,020
Unfortunately, I welcome
271
00:19:17,020 --> 00:19:21,260
Usually I welcome personal insights, but not this time fear of missing out indeed
272
00:19:22,060 --> 00:19:25,980
Wow, she must have really why would you you can read the article?
273
00:19:26,060 --> 00:19:30,940
Okay, I feel like we can link it up because it was it was public. Um, I can't remember where it came from
274
00:19:31,020 --> 00:19:37,020
I want to say new york times. Yeah, all these food recommendations. She talks about getting some really good stuff
275
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:41,420
Washington post that's where it came from neat
276
00:19:41,420 --> 00:19:47,180
So I want to show you the video now and then if it stirs a memory i'll talk about it
277
00:19:47,180 --> 00:19:50,140
But I really would like to do this. It'd be a lot of fun. All right
278
00:19:50,780 --> 00:19:54,540
Be like a retirement hike for like a fit retiree. Yeah
279
00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:58,700
A fit retiree. Yeah, you got to be in shape. Gotta retire early to go on this hike
280
00:19:59,340 --> 00:20:01,900
we're gonna watch the video if anybody wants to
281
00:20:02,940 --> 00:20:07,020
Watch it and then come back to our podcast a little pause go to our um
282
00:20:08,060 --> 00:20:09,660
show notes and
283
00:20:09,660 --> 00:20:16,140
Take a watch and that's the website trackski. Those are the people so caminos come
284
00:20:17,020 --> 00:20:19,020
Camino dos faros.com
285
00:20:20,380 --> 00:20:23,980
Vincent I was saying during this video that they're they are showing
286
00:20:25,260 --> 00:20:30,780
The places that you'll come across while you're hiking but they don't really show the conditions in which you will be hiking
287
00:20:32,220 --> 00:20:35,020
He said that you'll want to be wearing hiking boots instead of tennis shoes
288
00:20:35,020 --> 00:20:41,820
Which I would have been in the tennis shoe club. 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. It depends on your fitness for sure
298
00:21:25,420 --> 00:21:30,700
But they well that they talk about they built in time for you to see everything so to visit the lighthouse
299
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:33,900
to take pictures to stop and eat, you know, like
300
00:21:35,260 --> 00:21:38,060
Um, I think it's kind of build your own adventure. 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
