Wednesday, May 8, 2024 – O Serrallo to A Ramallosa

Travel Blog 1 Minute

I got a great night’s sleep last night. Sunset is now about 10:00 PM and sunrise this morning was at about 7:00 AM. I got out on the Way at about 7:30 and felt pretty energetic for the first two hours. I was marching on an empty stomach and was running out of steam about mid morning so I stopped and had breakfast at an RV campground. I had a chocolate croissant and an orange juice and a banana, the breakfast of champions.

This was right about the time the sun was peeking over the hills to the east of The Way.
Interesting roadside Camino art.
This coast in southwestern Spain is spectacular.
A lighthouse because I know Jan likes lighthouses.
The Way today was a mixture of walking/biking paths that hugged the coast and these rough as a cob trails over the hills.
It seems like there are a lot of horses in the pastures but we don’t see anyone riding the horses.
I stopped in Baiona for lunch. It was noon and they didn’t start serving lunch until 1:00. They invited me to sit at a table outside in the shade and drink beer and enjoy a plate of tapas, which I did. When 1:00 rolled around I had a very nice plate of pasta carbonara.
This is my home for the evening, Pazo Pias. It is an old monastery. The common areas and the grounds have a lot of character but the rooms are nothing special.
I splurged and got a single room.

That’s it from A Ramallosa, Spain. I hope you are having a wonderful day wherever you are.

I've been retired from the Union Pacific Railroad since 2017. I've been planning to walk the Camino for about 6 months and can't wait to get started.
