7km into the walk from Redondela to Pontevedra, I stopped at a small café and met Maria — a pilgrim from Russia walking her own quiet Camino.

Over a cup of coffee, we spoke about why she chose to walk, what she’s discovered so far, and how the road has softened both our hearts in unexpected ways.

It wasn’t a planned interview — just two pilgrims, a table in the morning light, and a conversation that stayed with me long after we continued walking.
