Gonzar to Melide

A 32km day today, with the threat of rain, however it didn't bucket down until the last 30 minutes, so we were OK.

We left around 6.30 am and pretty much spent most of the morning climbing gradually. We met two families from Spain walking with 5 year olds.. extremely slowly but great to see.

We walked through forests and agricultural towns, we have found since passing the 100km mark the towns are very small and nothing really remarkable in them.

Melide, the town we were staying in, was pretty run down, but famous for Pulpo (Octopus). I tried it and really enjoyed it. We met a group from the UK who had just started and only doing the last 100kms they were such a nice group...I sort of feel sorry for them as they have missed the best parts.

Two days to go and most likely in the rain.Read more
