Today was the big test for Dean & Marian, and their last day of walking as well. We started climbing shortly after setting out. The countryside was beautiful, but the climb was relentless. The views from on top made it worth it. We stopped at the top for a picnic lunch and glass (or 2) of wine before continuing.
Just past the summit was the town of Albergueria, which contrary to what the name suggests, does not have an albergue. It does have a very cool bar, though, called Rincon del Peregrino with shells hanging from the walls and ceiling with the names of visiting pilgrims. Ours is now officially attached to the ceiling.
Since entering Galicia, the towns have been closer together. Nearly every town has a fountain with fresh water, which is a huge relief on these warm days. Funny that we went from the threat of snow to sweaty-hot within one week.
