Day 6 Monday, 26 September, Portomarin to Meson A Brea, 14 miles
Day 7 Tuesday, 7 September Meson A Brea to Melide, 11 miles
As you might have concluded as beautiful as the Manor houses are, they have limited wifi. You don't do the Camino to stay connected, however. I can upload pictures from the bars we pass along the way as they have excellent wifi.
We continue along a beautiful journey with churches, scenery and conversation with pilgrims from all over the world. Being fluent in Spanish is a great help as I can converse with many more people than the rest in my group.People are so much of the Camino experience I'm happy not to be limited to just English speaking individuals.
We picked up lots of Pilgrims in Sarria as that is the last big town before you need to walk every km to get the official certificate. It is a market town but the treasures were in the churches and the views from the top of the hill overlooking the city. This was my hardest day thus far and Portomarin was a welcomed sight. Built along a river it has quite a historical church to sit and enjoy.
From Portomarin we passed many Galician villages and walked country lanes. Everyday we have outstanding lunches prepared by our guides with two of more salads.
Tuesday we passed thru Palas de Rei with more historical churches and the rolling footpaths were delightful with a finish in Melide, the capitol of pulpo/octopus. We had many side dishes of the pulpo for lunch-yum. Fresco tours arranged for us to have massages at our manor house today. What a great treat!
