Anyway today began in pouring rain - and it had rained most of the night. I'm still only using my brollie instead of a coat or poncho. And the brollie was up to the task. Luckily there was no wind - and the rain let up finally. We had quite a nice afternoon. It's plain to see that this area is somewhat more prosperous than other parts of Galicia.

The farmers seem to have small herds of cows - which live inside and are fed grass harvested for them. The paddocks seem so boggy there's probably no other way. It's mixed farming I guess - pigs and sheep are present on most farms too.
Gallego Cabbage - a staple in Caldo Gallego, a soup
We wandered through a few small villages and had a beer in a couple of them! This place is a surprise - a deep river valley crossed by a number of bridges. The earliest being Roman!
Bacon and cheese buttie!
Tomorrow we have only 21km to walk into Santiago. I've walked 979kms... Actually it's a lot more with all the times I got lost, but we wont count those!
