Mesón do Vento to Calle de Poulo


Friday 13th

We walked to Calle de Poulo and the Bar Cruceiro (13.5km).
The first bar, by the 'Pilgrim' statue was closed when we tried the door, but opened while we were taking photos. (We think they heard us.) So back we went for cafe con leche and were soon joined by 3 young Spanish pilgrims. We saw them twice more at Bar Novo in Buscas, where we all had bocadillos (sandwiches), and again at the 'Cruceiro' in Calle de Poulo. They too were taking their time and not rushing.

A good mix of road and track and we passed the 40km mark on today's route. It was lovely walking weather again with sunshine, and a breeze to keep us cool.
Back to Mesón do Vento for a final night. In fact we probably could have walked easily into Ordés but had already arranged to go back and we needed to pay the bill!!





Stone house. Is the rounded part an old oven?

Terry walking uphill. I had been taking photos, but soon caught up
