Ribadiso da Baixo (11.1km / 725.4km)

We had a sleep in today, only waking at 7:20, a breakfast in the old town in Melide and then went to mass at 9:30am in the Chapel of San Antonio which was full of locals and quite vibrant.
We walked with Louise who also had a late start only starting at 10am. Again most of the walk was shaded thankfully as it was hot. We walked through eucalyptus plantations which was just like walking at home. We managed just 2 stops today, one at a local roadside fruit stall and the other for a cold drink. We’re under 50km to go! There was still plenty of banter!
We are staying in a small town that appears to exist for pilgrims. There are a few Albergues, no shop and only 1 large restaurant. The food was good but the service suffered from a lack of competition and at times was quite rude.
There is a river at the bottom of our village where we were able to soak our feet in cold water, sooooo good.Read more
