July 22
It is already half past nine when we walk out of the Bakery shopel, where we had breakfast. Most people, the families and groups, are long gone. That makes it seem peaceful. It is cloudy and cool. We don’t have to take into account midday heat.

The route runs through rural areas and is beautiful. We cross one wooded mountain. It is only very busy at the cafe halfway through the route. Yet we take our time and order a bocadillo con queso and coffee.

We spend the night in a suburb of Padron. It’s an ugly place, but the hotel where we sleep is a converted old house of a famous Galician and is beautiful.
