We started the day with a small breakfast in a cafe. Café con leche, jugo de naranja y pan. All other guests also walk the Camino. We have to climb today, but we almost always walk on asphalt. It’s cool and easy. In Mos, in a monastery converted into a hostel, we have a second breakfast. It is a stopping place and stamping post. We see familiar faces; signs of recognition, small conversations. Everyone scatters along the way.

We have a nice room in a steep street in the older part of the city of Redondela. After checking in, we walk to the river near the sea. It’s ebb.

In the evening on a terrace we drink a beer with Sarah and Mario from Texas. We have already met them in Portugal. Sarah grew up in Madrid and speaks perfect Spanish. They will visit her Spanish family after the Camino.
