Baiona 14.4km (Hotel El Mosquito)

As forecast the weather when the sun rose (around 8.30 !!) was pretty ordinary so it was full wet weather gear of pants and ponchos (for some). Didn’t take long for the rain to start with wind so umbrellas were out of the question. We had long periods of more mist than rain so it was difficult to see how nice the Galician coastline was. We passed through a few small villages walking on paths and tracks. First respite from the rain was a cafe behind a very quiet caravan park which was very welcome. Leaving the cafe we crossed the road to begin climbing up a stone path that circles around the side of a mountain, bringing you into the outer area of Baiona. This part of the walk was a highlight regardless of the rain. The track had gotten pretty wet by this stage but the wet weather gear was doing its job. The walk down into Baiona from high through twisting narrow streets was great. Arrived at el Mosquito ( bit worried about that name) just as our bags were dropped off, including some items left behind in A Guarda so we had a quick shower and headed out for some tapas before everything shut for siesta. Forecast is better tomorrow but honestly the rain didn’t hinder the walk at all, other than the views. Que así sea.Read more
