Biomorto to O Pedrouzo about 27km

Biomorto  to O Pedrouzo about 27km and only 20km to go!


A passable night in the AdP  but had to wear shorts t shirt and socks to keep warm. Woke up to torrential rain - oh goody. Thankfully, it reduced a bit before we went out and after we stopped at the first cafe for coffee and biscuits it relented to a steady drizzle. It did rain for most of today's hike and some of it was fairly heavy. However, my 1€ poncho did its job.  Finally met up with the Camino Frances which was immediately obvious as we saw a stream of walkers cross the path in front of us.  I think we saw more pilgrims in the last 8km of today's walk than we have seen for the previous 870kms! Another change is that the first AdP was full and although the second one had beds it was in the middle of nowhere with no eating facilities.  Walked on towards O Pedrouzo with a string of people in front and behind us and it was clear that the prices were increasing with the numbers.  However, found a good little place just on the edge of town that has washing and drying service which was pretty key to today's  needs so we booked in at 35€ for a double with on suite facilities. Nice place and there is somewhere to eat next door. Off to SdC tomorrow for the final 20km and as we had a couple of longer stages then originally planned it means we will be there a day early. As the forecast for tomorrow is thunder and hail with not much better for the day after it seems like a good thing!

  1. Do you think the weather is telling you its time to come home! I expect you are glad now that you have taken the shorter walk. Not long now until you are home Christa

  2. Raining in Stavanger (Norway) as well, but just a fraction of the fun you are having :)
