12km Vilavella to A Gudina

May 5, 2007

Yesterday's cab ride made for a short day today. There really wasn't any way to continue on from here without making this a 35 km day. Just as well, as the walking in these mountains is more demanding.

We've crossed out of Castille-Leon and into Galicia, the last of the autonomous regions we'll visit. At the same time we left the province of Zamora and entered the province of Ourense. Most everything is written in gallego as well as spanish. It looks a lot like portuguese, which isn't surprising considering we are only about 20km from the Portuguese border.

Galicia is known for its high quality albergues, and tonight's stop reinforces that reputation. Everybody was happy to stay here. No rebellions.
