5th July Palas de Rei to ribadso

To just finish off our last few days, Spain thought it might throw a heat wave at us. The region of Galicia is renowned for all sorts of weather. But normally winds, rain and thunderstorms. Today we expect  a temperature of about 38c. It's probably our last big 27km day so we choose to get up before 5am again and make our way in the dark.

Quite the sprint for that first coffee in about 8km then settled into the rhythm of the day.

Walking through farms, more cows and as luck would have it more hills.

It's seriously hot and we are just getting a tad hot and bothered. Thankfully arrived in the lovely village of Ribadiso which has 2 albergues , a bar/ restaurant and straddles a beautiful river. After a nap, the afternoon is spent with a poor, poor. Feet in that river. Then to the bar for a drink and food...but no food until 7pm. Then a mad rush of hungry pilgrims. Early night ready for another early start.
