Camino: Day 32

Distance: 28.1 KM (17.4 miles)

Weather: cloudy, cold, rain, 42-51°

Time on trail: 9 hours 40 minutes counting all breaks & stops

Do you remember this from “My Fair Lady?”

I’m can assure you, the rain in Spain does not stay mainly in the plain. You will notice by our attire, today was blue skies- rain- repeat.

Since the sun was shining this morning, many pilgrims joined the trail by 8:30.

10:30 café con leche & tortilla break

Back on the trail.

Around noon we reached Melide.

Melide is famous for various food items.

And some very unique cheese.

As the story goes:

Melide also has the oldest stone cross on the Camino in Galicia dating from the 14th Century.

With the sun shining, we enjoyed lunch on a city bench in Melide.

Sadly, the sunny weather ended soon after lunch; but, we still enjoyed our rainy afternoon walk.

I was happy to encounter a volunteer stop. There have been far fewer of these in the last third part on the Camino.

With the on & off again rainy weather, it was a relief to arrive into Arzua. For dinner, we enjoyed the best pizza we have had in Spain.

The pizza place had pilgrim graffiti all over its walls. This one caught our eye since we have experienced this problem. But mostly me!! 😆

Happy to have our last long hiking day done before reaching Santiago.

Count down:

2 days until Santiago

6 days until Finisterre
