It's 5:15 pm local time. We've finished our pilgrim menu & time for your daily update! We made 14 miles today in gorgeous sunny but not too hot Galicia weather & rolled into our final town (Tricastela) around 1:30 pm. Showered, did wash, & now drinking sangria & eating the pilgrim "menu of the day" for early dinner. This is the strange "downtime" part of the day when you shift from working very hard to doing virtually nothing for hours after errands are done, clothes ready for tomorrow & bedtime. Yesterday we watched a Real Madrid soccer game but no tvs on the cafes tonight in this small town. It's an interesting daily routine where entertainment comes from conversation or your own thoughts.
Galicia is gorgeous country & the final region we walk thru. It's known for wind & rain, but also gorgeous hilly country, cattle lands on high plains, wine country (again--Bierzo). We walk thru meadows & forested hamlets that are very quaint. Cows always lowing. My favorite walking so far. Pet some cute burros in a field after dinner while heading back to the municipal albergue. Beautiful night!
