I walked an additional 4 or 5 kns yesterday so that I could combine 3 stages into 2, and now I expect to be able to do 2 23.5km days AND gain a day, which
I can hopefully use to get to Finisterre...

Breakfast, which was included with the room .. Not only do they serve a sweet apple and cinnamon jam, they also put out a bowl of savory creamed tomato, which was delicious on toast..

On the way out of the town of Pito, I stop at the Palace of Selgas, where the grounds are meant to replicate Versailles to some degree. .

The church in Pito...

Guardians of the gate...

Today will be more of the same... back to the woods..

Camino tile..

Cows are getting harder to find!

Awesome view of a hazy coastline...

Cool plant... I had to look twice to make sure it wasn't fake!..

This is as close as I'll get to this beach...
Skyway everywhere...

I stop to admire the view...
I'm about to stop at a bar in a little town for a coffee and radler, when I hear a commotion down the street. I am so happy when I wander down to find a Sunday market, in front of another bar! Of course I have to buy something, so I grab a deer chorizo sausage, and half a wheel of sheep cheese... both yummy, but the deer chorizo is really dry... Loved the guy roasting walnuts!

Honestly, can't get enough of this...

This house certainly stood out on the walk... as long as they are happy with it!..

I spot this fountain in someone's yard.
Let's go for a walk in the woods...

So pretty!

Stone house, built in 1820...

I know, I know, enough already!

Spaniards love their flowers, and there is still so much colour for mid October...
I want to talk to this horse, but he only speaks Spanish!
One of my most favourite sounds...

My day ends in mid-stage, in a place called La Bolleta, and the hotel is also my restaurant for the night. I begin with a bowl of seafood soup, which if I'm being honest, was every bit as good as the seafood broth I had a few nights earlier at the higher end restaurant...

I follow that up with a pan-fried seabass, which is good, but has many, many bones...

If the cheese flan is on offer, I will almost always take it...
Wrong date on the screen... should be Oct 15...
Distance Travelled Today- 24 k s
TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELLED SO FAR- 630 KMS
Really nice pics from this days' travel. Looks like it's a bit cooler these last few days with it being overcast and all the fall leaves. Only about 10 days left on your walk! You've really come a long way!
Never too many pictures of the forest paths! Loved your descriptions of the scents along the way. It sounds like you’ve found your groove.
Seemed like better walking today. We don’t mind seeing trees and cows and old houses. You’ve become a historian.
