We are in our albergue in Arzua. It was a long day. Feels like the longest yet, but I don’t really have the energy to check! Here’s the damage…
There is loud music coming in the open door and I hope it stops before it gets too late. Uh oh!
The sun is shining down on our clothes on the line and we’re chilling after having had a marvelous supper at Ultreia Restaurante and Albergue… which is located a few blocks away on the main drag. We ate there in 2019 and I was adamant about going there again. They have traditional Galician food, but their Italian is absolutely spectacular.
Here’s my blog post about Ultreia Restaurante from 2019.
Here’s what we ate this afternoon at Ultreia…
The day had, as usual, many ups and many downs. As always, it was beautiful. A few raindrops fell, but too few to mention. Wait… I did just mention them.
We left our albergue at 6:59am. Still dark. It was uphill almost right from the start, soon after the statues in the final pic below…
A few pics along the way…
We both posed with St. James…
We were soon–hours later–in Milede. This city is famous for its pulpo (octopus). We did not have any this time round.
After Melide, we just had a few more towns to go through. It was a hard slag today. It would be nice to break this section up into two days. I would suggest either Melide or Ribadiso. I stayed in Ribadiso in 2014…it’s a nice place.
Soon, we were in Arzua! I’ve never been so happy to see a place. We actually stopped and had our supper at Ultreia Restaurante before we checked into our albergue. It was on the way… and we are in for the night! (Reader, it’s 5:12pm!)
Albergue Pension Cima do Lugar
That is it for today! Tomorrow we head for Amenal. The albergue is Kilometro 15…so that tells you just how close to Santiago de Compostela we’ll be once we arrive! Almost there!
Buen Camino, peregrinos/peregrinas! Until tomorrow!
