GezginHi, Grace Glad the weather is better. I remember that old church not being open for us last year…seemed like it had rained or was raining then. It did get a little weird walking after Sarria…not as tranquil, you might say. So, are you going to motor to Santiago after your next day’s walk? I see the doc about my foot tomorrow…likely a couple more weeks of not walking. Buen Camino, Cuz
GezginI'm headed to San Xulian tomorrow where we met Father James. Wednesday walk to Melide where we had the octopus, 11 km then grab a bus to Santiago. I'm skipping Arzua and O Pedrouzo- there's nothing there. Good luck with the foot doc😀
