Palas de Rei to Arzúa – 29km

Yesterday’s walk was long, but really beautiful. We passed through eucalyptus forests, farmland, and stone villages. We even spotted a few bottlebrush trees along the way, seems the Spaniards brought home more than just eucalyptus seeds!

We stopped for lunch and had octopus, which is a specialty in Galicia. We also tried some local strawberries which were delicious.

The afternoon walk was a bit slower, with a few hills. Just when you think there are no more, another one is around the corner. The scenery is definitely changing as we get closer to Santiago. The towns are getting bigger, with more shops and restaurants open.

We stayed in a farmhouse just outside Arzúa, with dairy cows right outside the window. These B&Bs are amazing, often run by just one or two people.

20km ahead today. We can almost see the finish line.Baca selengkapnya
