13 June To Melide

Casa Blanca breakfast was very upmarket then i retraced my steps the 1.3km back to the camino. There were some nice forest stretches and little village churches but some next to busy highway and through light industry.
Final approach to Melide through Founelos and its old stone bridge over a bubbling river was beautiful. My pension looked rather ordinary outside but was new and quiet inside. Lunched on octopus at the famous Ezequiel Restaurant and was not disappointed. Long communal benches in a big space were packed. Sat with Argentinian spanish couple. Waiter said they go through 200 kilos of octopus per day.
Had a siesta, then sangrias in a bar in the sun at the major intersection where I met Scot and Jota. Dinner was a Caldo Gallego (cabbage soup) and another octopus at the same restaurant.Read more
