A Pobra de Parga to Sobrado dos Monxes

This was a difficult day. It rained continually for several hours and we were soon drenched through. When we thought it couldn't get any worse, the wind began to blow! Plus the temperature was 52 degrees. This stretch had very little in the way of services, so there was really no place to stop and warm up. (The place we stayed last night sent us off with a sack lunch, which was a first. Maybe they knew it would be difficult to find food.) We finally found a cafe to buy hot drinks and warm up. When we left, the rain was letting up, and our last few miles (of the almost 16 we walked) were better weather.

My ankle was less swollen when we arrived in Sobrado than it has been for several days. I attribute that to not carrying a pack, so I am going to have it transported for the next two days.

We took very few pictures today because of the rain, so not a lot for you to see! Just use your imagination. 😳Read more
