Lagrosa to Santa Marina 22.5km

-

 Set off at 7.30 after breakfast at the Albergue. Rejoined the Camino route at Negreira about 8.00 a.m. Being Sunday morning the town was quiet apart from a few people setting up stalls for the Sunday Market.




The mist lifted around 9.00 and we walked through woodland paths for 9.8km. and our first stop at Cafe A Pene Alto.

A long hot 12.7km. followed with little shelter from the sun. A short lie down under some trees to take off the shoes and socks and recharge part way.

You can still do the Camino with a baby.

Arrived at Santa Marina just before 4.00 p.m. Some of the walkers from yesterday were staying there so we enjoyed a long break at Casa Pepa with Larry and Eugene (Ireland) and  Lucia from Columbia, Lola from Spain, both living in Madrid and Maria from Spain living in Amsterdam. Two enjoyable hours with drinks, laughter and songs shared by Larry,  and Lucia - beautiful voices both. We hope to see Lucia, Lola and Maria in NZ in two years to celebrate their significant birthdays.

Our off Camino hotel then picked us up.


Stayed Casa Jurjo Excellent older style hotel. €56.00

Today's walk:

So many posers among the tourists.

 Had 3 lovely days in London with Aidan. Unfortunately Steve had a bad case of air sickness which slowed him down a bit. Highlights for us were dinner at the Queens Head, the visit to Little Venice and the Agatha Christie spoof Murder of Coarse. Always enjoy live theatre. Erin and Brian enjoyed their Buckingham Palace tour and I enjoyed visiting the Barbican and Guild Hall art gallery with Aidan before we all met up and took the ferry to Greenwich and the docklands railway back. Friday we headed up to Leamington Spa through the Cotswolds. Had 3 nice days with Patrick Emma and George, and Stan the dog of course. Dinner out at the Drawing Board on Saturday night and Warwick Castle, Hatton Locks and Stratford on Avon on Sunday. Two nights in Liverpool followed. Fairly wet and windy. We enjoyed a visit to the Western Approaches exhibit recommended by Emma. At Runnymede tonight before our flight to Athens tomorrow. We walked along the Thames to the Magna Carta memorial. A lovely walk in spi

 Sunday. Raining on and off. We had bought a few supplies at the supermercado yesterday so made ourselves muesli fruit and yoghurt breakfast and went out for coffee and croissant about 10.30. After lunch, between showers we walked along the promenade to the little beach at the end. Muxia is a lovely town. Enjoying it in spite of the rain. Photo above. We hope to climb this rocky hill at the other end of town before we leave tomorrow - weather dependent: Our apartment is on the third floor in the white building to the right of the red building at left side of above photo. Monday Once we checked out of apartment we walked along the waterfront and back then found the tourist information office and got our Muxia certificate. We were able to leave our packs there while we visited the church and climbed the rocky hill above the town. After some lunch at As Baleas we picked up our packs and caught the 2.15 pm bus back to Finisterre. €1.30. The bar opposite Cafe Berlin Madrid on Rua Real. Both
