Melide to Arzua, Wednesday, 28/9/16, 14.3 km

We traveled back to Melide to pick up the Camino at the square where we left off. Fortunately, the old church was opened were we received a pilgrim stamp and were able to view the beautiful architecture. Weather at 60 degrees was perfect for another day on the Camino.
We didn't travel far when we came upon an old Romanesque church with frescoes that were in pristine condition.
As we strolled the country lanes we came upon a donkey with its handler having a donkey stamp that many took advantage of obtaining before we crossed over a creek using a stone bridge. We came upon a German Inn but rather stop there, I continued on to the town of Boente where we had a check point with a totally empty but clean bar with bathrooms. Most of the indoor bathrooms have been spotless and if you buy something, no worries on using them. This bar allowed me to use them free of charge. As you can imagine with 280,000 pilgrims per year, bathrooms can be in high demand and not always keeping up with cleanliness, but that hasn't been my experience.
I checked in with our bus driver and continued on sometimes talking to other pilgrims sometimes not. Always enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery along the way.
Came to Castaneda where the old pilgrims would bring quartz for the locals to grind into lime which they would then take to Santiago for the building of the cathedral.
We had another splendid lunch this time at a park along a creek. Ana's salad's continue to wow us. Only another two miles until we reached the end town of Arzua. This town dates back to Roman but it really was only put on the map because it is on the Camino.
Personal reflection is very much a part of our Camino days.
