Palas De Rei

Day 39 Palas De Rei
Distance from Portomarin to Palas De Rei 27kms

Leaving Portomarin this morning before the sun came up the town still sleeping and the streets to ourselves. The water was like a mill pond as we crossed over the bridge to take the path by which we would follow today. We climbed gradually for 7kms and rewarded ourselves with breakfast of eggs and toast delicious after a good workout. We made a detour to visit the remains of the Iron Age settlement from the IVth Century BC what a privilege to see such history. We are staying in a small hamlet at the edge of town quiet and quaint and nearby is the smallest little house we have seen it’s like a little pink marshmallow.
With our early start we came across fewer pilgrims the sun was shining and we are now only 3 days away from Santiago.Read more
