Day 36 - To Armenteira

Noreen and I left Pontevedra fairly early. It was still bordering on dark. We had a tough day ahead, climbing to 455 m at one point, so we wanted to get a good start on the day.
We saw some interesting things along the way, like another beautiful cathedral. We enjoyed walking together. Although we both chose to do this trip solo, it changed things up a bit. And as I said before, distractions like conversations and visiting helps the kilometres to go by faster.
When I got to Armenteira there was a café/bar at the bottom of the trail so we stopped for a quick drink. I had to walk 1 km (15 minutes) out of town to reach my Albergue. It was a nice place, but there was no food in the area or transportation back into town. And I was too tired to walk it. There was the ability to phone and order take-out to be delivered to us, but it was disgusting. That was confirmed by the other two people that ordered as well.
This evening was the only time that I came across a Pilgrim‘s blessing that was offered in the cathedral but again, no transportation and I was too tired to walk it. So I had to miss it.Läs mer
