Pontedeume to Betanzos

21km today with some steep hills. It was straight up to head out of town. A lovely mix of pavement and woodlands. Found a box of oranges and water by the wayside. All donation based.

There are fun little stands locals set up on The Way every so often to sell little things they’ve made and trinkets. I saw one today that had mole skin in little packages alongside the homemade necklaces and earrings. I guess they know their customers! Also donation based. I did grab a packet of that. But luckily I have not had any blisters. 🙏

Saw a beautiful black lab that was just sitting there calmly looking out and watching the pilgrims go by. What a sweet boy. ❤️ And then there was this white horse that just roams free on the path. I met a lady from London today and she was telling me about this horse. Evidently, it’s pretty famous how it likes to be around the pilgrims.

Started about 730 this morning and ended about 145. After showering I tried the famous Betanzos tortilla. It’s an egg potato omelette sort of thing that is famous for being very runny. Hope I don’t get salmonella. 😬

Early night tonight. 💤 I want to be on the road earlier tomorrow. It’s the long day.

Thank you for following along. Much love.Læs mere
