We traveled up the biggest mountain in in Northern Spain and entered Galicia a couple of days ago. The view was incredible. The mountain kept going up and up into several small villages, where we would take a break to catch our breath. We cross over rocks, mounts of dirt and sunny weather. We stayed over night in O´Cebreiro. The albergue overlooked the mountain. The village was like a movie set in Ireland. Beautiful stone walls and green as can be.
We left the next morning and walked to a small village called Fonfria. The village had cows, chickens, cats and dogs walking down the dirt road. We bought fresh cheese made with in a hour from one of the locals. It was so good on our fresh french bread.The scenery was like a picture from 100 years ago. The houses were all made out of stone and slate. The albergue was quiet to sleep and the meal filled our bellies.
We left this morning on our way to Sarria to travel 30k. On our way we walked up and down hills, through creeks, muddy trails, friendly cows bell rings and a beautiful view of Sarria. We arrived today at 3:30pm to shower, eat and rest for our adventure tomorrow. I will send photo´s of our journey when it is available to upload my pictures. Good night for now....
We stayed in a charming apartment in Santigo. It was built in the 12 century. The lady ( Concepcion) explained how the archaelogist were able to tell her from the stones that the wall was from the 11 century and added to during the 15 century. It was beautifully furnished, and we were in the center of everything. 
We were just having a little fun when we ran into an angel and Saint James...So, I had to get a picture with them. Kate is our adorable pilgrim ready for another adventure.
We went to the philgrims mass on sunday and we were blessed with stronger hearts and good will. The catheral is so beautiful, it is hard to capture the whole thing. The other photo is of St. James. We visited his tomb, and on the top it stand a solid gold, jewel incrusted statue of him. We got in line to see it and everyone hugs the statue for thanking him for good blessings and a safe journey.
trees for miles today. We also came across some locals riding on their horses and enjoying the nice weather.
We left this morning from Melide. Our plan was to walk to Santa Irene, but all alberguea and hostels were all full, so we ended up at a really nice place called ¨Casa Bao¨ in Santiso-Castrofeito-O Pine. We have really nice rooms and the food was great! We walked over 32 k today and tomorrow we are only have 16 K to Santiago de Compostela!!! The following photo´s are the terrain and rasberries for sale $1.50 E. More photos to follow...
I caught Andrew in a pose with the 69 k marker. Most of our day was enjoyed walking through these beautiful tall covered trees which the trail goes through, beside the small villages we encountered.
We arrived in Portomarin late this afternoon. Portomarin was built close to the river hundreds of years ago. It was flooded and they had to build the city up on the hill. If you look close at the photo of the river, you can still see ruins of the orginial city. The other photo is the church located in the center of town. We have 90K left of our journey and haven´t decided yet where we will stop tomorrow afternoon.
