Our 12 mile walk today was an another enjoyable ramble. Rain was forecasted, so we wore our rain gear as we left Nigrán.

However, there was hardly any precipitation & the clouds kept the temps in the low 60s which was lovely.

Not long after leaving Nigrán we had a steady up hill climb to a forested area. This time the forest contained oak & chestnut trees. The ground was covered with furry looking chestnut husks.

It was lovely to have a nice fall walk through the forest.

We passed by a very cute pilgrim spot to get a stamp in our Camino passports & had fun looking at all the decorations.

Along the walk we met 2 men on their way to Santiago. Simon who is around our age is from Chester, England, near Liverpool; Boris is a 45 year old man from Berlin.

Around noon we all stopped at a small pub. I had my usual cafe con leche. We had fun having a nice chat.

Boris ended up walking with us the rest of the way to Vigo. Since he lives in Berlin, we loved talking with him about our time in Berlin. He had also lived in London for 5 years, so his English was impeccable making it very easy to converse.

When we reached the outskirts, it took another hour to reach the Vigo city center. It’s a rather large city. As in many cities, graffiti is common on large walls.

Some interesting figures in Vigo.
