O Burgo

Today's saunter was a gentle 22km from Lugo to Burgo do Negral.  Nice countryside with the Way alternating between the road and earthen path.  There are many more pilgrims along the Way this year than in 2018.  I mostly walk alone, but there are dozens of folks around.

Rest Day

Spent the day in Lugo to rest.  Two-thirds of the way to Santiago.  The big hills are behind us.  Hoping to be in Santiago for the anniversary.

Lugo

Made the 16km walk into Lugo.  The bustling city is 100km from Santiago, but goes back to ancient times.  The Roman walls remain intact.

Vilar

Just a short 14km saunter today to Vilar de Cas.  Sunny skies have returned with temperatures in the 50s.  Coming down out of the mountains and heading to Lugo tomorrow.

Cadavo

A lovely 24km walk today to O Cadavo.  It started out cool and cloudy, then it rained for a bit, and ended up warm and sunny.  Lots of lovely vistas, and a little bit of history as we passed a dolmen and a medieval pilgrim refuge.

A Fonsagrada

Another fine day for a Walk, overcast skies, breeze blowing for the 25km to A Fonsagrada.  The big milestone today was crossing over from Asturias to Galicia.

Grandas de Salime

Today's walk of 20km was to Grandas de Salime.  The weather was stellar, partly cloudy, a slight breeze and temperatures in the 60s.  Most of the walk had us drop hundreds of feet into a lake valley, cross over to the other side on the dam and then walk up the other side a bit into town, which we could see during most of the descent.  Another lovely day!
