Rodeiro to Lalín Pt 2

I changed up my after walking routine today. Once I checked in I went out for food and a short walk, then returned to the albergue for shower and laundry. Usually I do it other way around, but I was quite hungry today.

But first was to stop at the pilgrim store downstairs to get a special sello (stamp). The owner there makes special wax stamps - lovely!

Then I went to a pizza place, stopped to see the pig statue and the 0 km marker. I am not sure why Lalín has a pig statue, but the 0 km marker indicates this is a central hub to several locations in Galicia, about an hour away from Santiago. Or in my case, three days.

I also went to a bank machine and a grocery store. I don’t need much more to eat today, but picked up a bit for breakfast and snacks.

And tonight I met two English speaking bicigrinos. One from Poland 🇵🇱 and one from Germany 🇩🇪. It is strange to hear about biking the Camino, the distance they do each day is like five of my days.Read more
