Friday September 23
Very foggy beginning, warmer later.
Arrival, end of the Camino Portugues pilgrimage. A much shorter and easier one than the French way. Unfortunately QB did not get to enjoy due to constant painful feet.
At breakfast we learned of piel de sapo (or, skin of toad) brand of melon Blanco, inexpensive, regional, excellent. We have been having it every day since Lisboa.
Also the regional cheese, mild, good with morning rolls. BAMA queso de pais, Galicia.
Rolling hills, forests, a few steep climbs, 29 km day due to routing. Maybe 18 on the main road.
Nice room at the parador, will be here five nights. First stop after checking in and obligatory (scaffolded) cathedral pictures, was for tapas. Here they are laid out the way we saw all across northern Spain. Wonderful tapas dinner. Followed by pretty good ice cream.
