Camino day 14 Palas de Rei to Melide... Pousada Xaneric...
Nice dining room for breakfast.
Now, let's get gone
Drop off point Castro albergue right on the main drag of Palas de Rei.
Down the staircase to the city square (actually a rectangle).
And on out of town.
Light clouds. Hope to clear up.
Pilgrim statues.
We're out of here. Let's blow this taco stand.
65 Km to Santiago.... by the road. We're hiking The Camino,... The Way. But we're closing every day,... every mile,... every Km.... we're closing on Santiago.
Peaceful woodland trails.
Small hamlet.
Pit stop.
Back on the Camino.
Iglesia stop.
ALL chapels are unique.... and a blessing along The Way. Stop at all you can.
A beautiful day on the Camino.
Water fill ups for pilgrims all along the Camino. Thank you!
Back into woodlands.
The bridge at Melide.
I made it here. Thank you!
Up into town and eat a samich streetside.
A shower with a tub... perfect if you are a child. ?This is a half bath?
After checking in walk around town and scout out what's there.
Beautiful iglesia. The workmanship/ craftsmanship is amazing.
Another chapel 100 yards away.
?Did I mention that the Spanish people are friendly and glad to help pilgrims? We bought some Spanish cheese to go with the bread and olives for snacks along the way.
It can be a lot of fun hiking the Camino!
You never drink twice from the same stream.
Just because you wander doesn't mean you're lost.
