100:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,300I'm Vince and I'm Emily you're listening to the lighthouse lowdown200:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,860We're using our new setup for the first official300:00:17,980 --> 00:00:23,400Recording we are although it seems to keep changing the setup. There's little parts of change. Yeah400:00:23,400 --> 00:00:30,480So I have to change headphones right now for example, so where are the other headphones they in the bin?500:00:30,480 --> 00:00:38,760There's some right here like those. Okay, I sound like a robot from Transformers. Why Transformers specifically it just sounds like the600:00:40,140 --> 00:00:42,240You know the divergent computer700:00:44,260 --> 00:00:52,020I've never seen Transformers any of them. No, well the first one's good. I think most people would agree. All right800:00:52,020 --> 00:00:54,020today900:00:54,140 --> 00:00:56,140is the day1000:00:56,340 --> 00:00:58,340And I can't find my mouse1100:00:58,660 --> 00:01:06,440Okay, I have a buoy also apologies to everybody for this podcast coming out a little bit late because I1200:01:06,980 --> 00:01:08,980Had to recover from travel1300:01:09,540 --> 00:01:12,820Lots and lots of time zone changes. Where were you Emily?1400:01:12,820 --> 00:01:18,100I went to Sweden and then I went to Spain and then I went to Japan1500:01:18,100 --> 00:01:21,540That's wild. Yeah, and our listeners got to hear episodes on1600:01:22,100 --> 00:01:24,700Sweden and a Japanese lighthouse1700:01:25,500 --> 00:01:31,380A dream come true. Okay. Have you ever heard of a range light on a lighthouse? No1800:01:32,060 --> 00:01:34,060It's a thing. Oh1900:01:34,260 --> 00:01:39,340You can see it on the screen. Oh, I won't look I won't show the this to the people but so a range2000:01:40,140 --> 00:01:46,680Light or a range lighthouse is when there are two lights that appear on the horizon on a lighthouse2100:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,180So there's two lights coming from one source and the purpose of those lights2200:01:51,180 --> 00:01:56,140Is that when you align the two lights when they appear to be one light, then you know, you're on a correct2300:01:56,780 --> 00:01:57,940lineage2400:01:57,940 --> 00:02:01,740Yes, so this is description. They're both in the same lantern room2500:02:02,380 --> 00:02:06,140Where are they? No, they're out ones on a tower ones on the light room2600:02:06,780 --> 00:02:09,560So range lighthouses appear as two lights on the horizon2700:02:09,560 --> 00:02:15,220However, when you line them up correctly, they appear as one atop the other or one behind the other2800:02:15,220 --> 00:02:19,340A Mariner would then know that they are on the correct path into the channel2900:02:19,340 --> 00:02:23,660So it's like the two lights are in two different locations3000:02:24,500 --> 00:02:28,100Two different locations or they're above and below or in front or behind3100:02:28,900 --> 00:02:32,140Or there's two in the tower. I didn't see any details on it3200:02:32,140 --> 00:02:35,620There are not very many of them, but I assume this is one you talked about recently3300:02:36,300 --> 00:02:38,500Somewhere that had a weird color light on a tower3400:02:38,660 --> 00:02:39,140Yeah3500:02:39,140 --> 00:02:45,740That 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 same3600:02:45,740 --> 00:02:49,700Tower but pretty far apart. So I think that was something else but3700:02:50,540 --> 00:02:55,060They would line up I guess. Yeah. Okay. We're gonna go back to Spain3800:02:55,580 --> 00:02:58,740What yep, you left Spain behind the dust3900:02:59,980 --> 00:03:01,980We did not4000:03:02,020 --> 00:03:04,020And we're gonna go back to Spain4100:03:04,020 --> 00:03:10,660There's a trail we're gonna talk about okay, so it's a hiking path that is on the coast4200:03:10,660 --> 00:03:14,900We're gonna show you the map and everything. It's a great website that we're gonna shout out like 20 times Oh4300:03:15,540 --> 00:03:17,540Camino dos Feroz4400:03:17,900 --> 00:03:20,860the lighthouse way, okay, so it is a4500:03:23,860 --> 00:03:29,780Why we need to stop picking lighthouses where we have to pronounce things it's hard enough for it to be most most of the4600:03:29,780 --> 00:03:31,460World is that way?4700:03:31,460 --> 00:03:35,060Yeah, and I don't speak any Spanish if you didn't tell that already4800:03:35,620 --> 00:03:37,620Can't even order so4900:03:38,060 --> 00:03:43,140We struggled in Madrid. Okay, you know does fair us first thing. Let's go to the map5000:03:43,140 --> 00:03:46,580So I can show you where it's at. This map is also from the same website5100:03:46,580 --> 00:03:50,980We're gonna shout out if you want the source, but if you zoom out you can see5200:03:51,940 --> 00:03:53,940This is all of Spain5300:03:54,540 --> 00:03:55,820here5400:03:55,820 --> 00:03:57,820Mm-hmm. So5500:03:57,860 --> 00:04:00,340Portugal north of Portugal the far north5600:04:00,340 --> 00:04:05,740West coast is where this is at and along this route there are5700:04:06,500 --> 00:04:10,020At least eight maybe 11 lighthouses5800:04:10,020 --> 00:04:13,540Oh, I say that because I see a couple contradicting sources5900:04:13,700 --> 00:04:19,660What but I think there might be multiple lighthouses at one of the locations maybe or several locations6000:04:19,660 --> 00:04:23,660I got an older and newer build. They're not like official or something6100:04:24,700 --> 00:04:25,940Yeah6200:04:25,940 --> 00:04:31,900One of them is a lighthouse. I'm gonna cover eventually I can see you have it on there. It's Tara. It's Tara6300:04:31,900 --> 00:04:35,740Yeah, so we'll talk about that too. I won't talk about it in detail. Okay6400:04:37,820 --> 00:04:44,460You speak more Spanish than I do it's hoppa does that mean stop sure we have a6500:04:46,220 --> 00:04:50,680French friend a French friend a Spanish friend who will correct us on what?6600:04:51,020 --> 00:04:54,300Yeah, we don't know. I don't know. Don't listen to him. I don't know Spanish6700:04:54,300 --> 00:04:57,960I I just took Spanish like ten years ago6800:04:59,940 --> 00:05:01,940Yeah, we are gonna watch a video okay, and6900:05:03,260 --> 00:05:05,300This is the website coming us7000:05:06,580 --> 00:05:14,180Okay, me no does Ferros the lighthouse way. So this is already translated for us, but this website is a nonprofit group7100:05:17,020 --> 00:05:22,740Trusky are what they call themselves. They're volunteers and nonprofit and they just for this lighthouse or7200:05:22,740 --> 00:05:27,860Or a collection for the the area. Oh the route the hiking route7300:05:27,860 --> 00:05:31,900Okay, and the hiking route is there's the map again7400:05:32,620 --> 00:05:34,340hiking route is7500:05:34,340 --> 00:05:36,340detailed in their video7600:05:37,220 --> 00:05:41,460But yeah, so 200 kilometers I have the conversion I think it's like a hundred7700:05:41,940 --> 00:05:46,58020 yeah hundred twenty four miles. So people have let me rewind I7800:05:46,580 --> 00:05:54,220Found an article which got me started on this subject. The article was from I think the New York Times7900:05:54,220 --> 00:05:57,260It's below we'll go over it soon. Okay, but this lady8000:05:58,980 --> 00:06:00,980What do you call an article writer8100:06:02,060 --> 00:06:04,620Author yeah, well this author8200:06:06,580 --> 00:06:11,180Journalist is I think the word is going for went to Spain to go on this trip8300:06:11,180 --> 00:06:14,920Oh, and they talked about doing it in six days8400:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,160So she did it in six days alone8500:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,600There's recommendations on this website for eight days or ten days8600:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,160so she was booking it she was booking it and8700:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,160I think the eight day is like the standard and they talk about8800:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,920Being on your feet for like eight or nine hours a day. Okay, so that includes time for stopping that includes8900:06:35,560 --> 00:06:42,120These towns you'll walk through spending time at lighthouses and beaches and such so the the path was put together9000:06:42,120 --> 00:06:48,040By this group and what they what they put together. So it's a series of beach paths like a national9100:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,480That's not national park but national park ish area. Yeah, fisherman's paths protected and then just kind of local maps9200:06:55,480 --> 00:07:01,080So they're all pieced together. So if you average it out ten days, you'd be going 12 miles a day9300:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,600so to me that doesn't sound like a lot for hiking but I9400:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,880Don't know just depends. Just so everyone knows9500:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,560Vince and I are very different in our ideas of a good time9600:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,040Hiking is not one of those things9700:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,880that I9800:07:15,880 --> 00:07:22,120Would elect to participate in while on vacation. I go on vacation just to hike so so9900:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,760You can send me postcards10000:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,000So here we go eight sections of an average of nine hours per section10100:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,680Which I like and that they tell you that builds in the pace of taking photos and stopping10200:07:34,680 --> 00:07:41,480This is the topographical map of the ups and downs. What's the time layout if you were to drive this instead?10300:07:42,680 --> 00:07:48,920Let's look at the map again. I don't know that you can drive all of it. Oh, yeah, it looks10400:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,920Yeah, the highways are inland10500:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,640So there's I'm sure there are roads to all of this10600:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,720It's like a mess it talks about how all of this hike it's kind of interesting all this hike is10700:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,240On popularized areas. They're not highly dense population. I actually have a population map of Spain10800:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,440But like there are there are people around very few of them are doing this hike10900:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,240So it's not like a really popular trail11000:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,360But every town you you plan to stop in town so you can stay at hotels airbnbs11100:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,800Guest houses, there's lots of different places to stay. That's cool. And it's hugs the11200:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,640Coastline the entire time. So you can stay at the hotel11300:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,480The coastline the entire time so you'd never are too far away from the ocean11400:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,640Yep, and I was going to show photos this whole time, but we'll just watch the video at the end11500:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,720It's like four four and a half minutes. Okay11600:08:37,800 --> 00:08:43,480Um, it's beautiful. It's just gorgeous. So and for those that are listening to the podcast you can11700:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,280Go to the show notes and watch the video on your own. I'll just cut out audio. That's11800:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,200We can post some photos too, but yeah, we'll cut out that audio11900:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,280So they're not just listening to the audio the video already made for us12000:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,280um, but12100:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,680Yeah, so it's along beaches along the coast. There's lots of places to stay. There's lots of good food12200:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,640I'll talk about I have a comment on the food in spain in uh, the article12300:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000And all right12400:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,200I could be convinced to do this hike. It just you were gonna12500:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,760You were gonna force me to go on a hike sometime12600:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,400I mean there's so like I was able to go on a hike once it was only 35 miles12700:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,880but it was12800:09:25,880 --> 00:09:32,760Very very treacherous as far as change in elevation goes is in alaska, alaska 35 miles. You're saying this one's how long?12900:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,400Well, this is longer13000:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,360In time and in distance 124 miles distance13100:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,880That is bogus for like eight days. We did ours in five13200:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,080So we went up and down look up the golden staircase if you're interested13300:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,200It's a big change in elevation. I take it back. I don't want to do this one and the chill cute drill anyways13400:09:52,200 --> 00:09:58,600But this so like that hike I did in alaska. We were out in the middle of nowhere. We had a satellite phone13500:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,560you know, we brought everything in on our backpacks and we camped and13600:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,040This is a very different type of hike. So this you'd be staying in hotels. You'd be having showers13700:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,680You'd be eating out potentially at nice dinners13800:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,640Um depends on how much money and time you want to spend but13900:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,880They'll set this up for you14000:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,840If 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 with14100:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,040different14200:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,920Um places to stay and then there are even options if you want to not carry your baggage14300:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,880So you can start on your day and have someone take your luggage if you want14400:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,960In a car and they'll drive to where you're going to end up for the night14500:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,800So you can just have your little day pack on you. This is like sissy hiking14600:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,800Well, sissy hardcore hiking. It's yeah, it's not nothing. It's moderate difficulty14700:10:45,800 --> 00:10:52,360There are again multiple sources that conflict one another on how difficult this is the lady who wrote the article14800:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,800uh was talking about baseball sized calluses and14900:10:56,680 --> 00:10:58,680On her feet. Yeah15000:10:58,680 --> 00:11:00,760And some people in the comments were saying no15100:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,240Well, she did it in like breakneck speed. She did didn't even have a suggestion for that type of speed15200:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,320She wrecked it ralph. So15300:11:09,320 --> 00:11:16,760This is fisterra. I read that means uh land's end. Yeah, uh monica said it's like the lighthouse or15400:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,320Oh, is this what we're looking at? She told us the lighthouse at the end of the world or something15500:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,240Yeah, nice15600:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,520So this in the article was covered as the most populated area that the hiker saw15700:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,160Okay, and it's a termination of this trail. So you go north to south. Oh, I see it said15800:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,280Bring sun gear sun lotion sunscreen sunglasses because you're going to be facing west15900:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,280the whole time16000:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,280um essentially16100:11:42,680 --> 00:11:45,720But yeah, really interesting. I'm gonna go back to the website. The website is so good16200:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,320I really don't typically like to single source my info16300:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,240so much but16400:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,440But it had it all it had it all and it also the purpose of the website is to promote people going to the region16500:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,720Okay, it's like a travel so they did a good job group. Yeah, so it has it hasn't been stages here16600:12:01,720 --> 00:12:07,800Because we are the lighthouse lowdown. We got to look at this part of their website16700:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,960The focus on the lighthouses on the lighthouse way. This is the page that shows eight lighthouses. I'm pretty sure16800:12:14,680 --> 00:12:15,780uh16900:12:15,780 --> 00:12:17,780nariga17000:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,120Lighthouse oh rukundu. I cannot pronounce anything.
