Day 5 as Pilgrims

We really enjoyed our apartment, so clean and modern. We were a little sluggish this morning after having several drinks and dinner with Chris and Mark last night. A delightful couple of guys who both live in England now but Chris was born in Africa and Mark was born in California.
We walked through the town of Betanzos and bought empanadas to eat later. We met a delightful lady who was walking her dog. Naturally she spoke to us in Spanish and, of course, we could not understand her so then she spoke to us in German which wasn’t a whole lot better!! But it was fun.
Today was much warmer than past days and we were climbing for most of the day so it was hard going. Our destination, Presedo, does not have any accommodation except for a municipal albergue so we had made reservations at Rectoral de Cines, a 1,000 year old former convent. It is stunning.
We ate a lovely dinner of cod (me) and veal (Chris) then we took a walk around outside and enjoyed an amazing sunset before bed.Read more
