Roman Bridge of Furelos

Highlight • Bridge

Medieval bridge over the River Furelos, considered one of the jewels of the civil architecture of the Way, without a doubt the most beautiful of all those on the French route as it passes through Galicia. It appears mentioned in the tombs of Sobrado (XII). In the 18th century it was partially reformed.

Pilgrim Statue in O Coto

Highlight • Monument

The statue of the pilgrim is one of the most repeated photos on the Camino de Santiago. If you pass by in winter and it has snowed, you will see the walker fighting against the elements. Despite the bad weather, the atmosphere at this point is almost magical, making you feel part of something special.😊

A slightly shorter but certainly no less fun route. We took it easy, saw everything we could see. When we arrived in Melide we ate pulpo (octopus) at La Garnacha. Wow! Super tasty. There seems to be a festival tonight, so we'll have to check it out.

Today the 3 day of the way. The landscape around me is sometimes very different but always impressive, what I particularly like is that sometimes people on the side of the road speak to you in Spanish and you try to express yourself somehow and with your hands and broken English it works. And so you say goodbye and continue …

The 3rd Stage of our camino to Santiago. A very beautiful route with views and inhabited hamlets, no difficult passages along the way and again beautiful weather. We are already starting to feel part of the camino community. Everywhere you are greeted in a friendly manner and every drink you order comes with a snack, from tortilla to olives.

It was raining this morning, unlike yesterday @Marja Rila. It was a case of pick-up and drop-off in the rain. Today too, a washboard path to Melide. On the way, a coffee after 6km …

I started an hour late today, and THAT was a mistake 🙈 Good heavens... how many "fun pilgrims" and school classes were out and about today 🫢😬
So I closed my eyes and carried on, or rather, carried on 😑
That went reasonably well... UNTIL "Hello!" my knee started screaming and announced that it couldn't go on 💥🦵😮‍💨😩
