The addition of perhaps an over-liberal intake of excellent local wine could scupper the entire enterprise quite easily.. However, our sponsors deserve feedback, and we will endeavour to provide...
Four days in, the feet became more accustomed to punishment, and the path less tarmacked. We travelled from our chic studio in Redondela to a family hotel in ria-side Arcade, and on into the bustling university city of Pontevedra.
Having been caught out in some serious rain en route from Arcade, that evening we sought decent waterproof ponchos to protect ourselves and our packs, and this necessitated a 12-min train ride to Vigo's revamped City centre station where Decathlon have a shop (as well as Penny's H&M and FNAC)
Thus prepared, we encountered only the lightest of showers in the past few days, but today provided some spectacular downpours and we are feeling suitably smug, and dry!
Total mileage walked so far since September 1 (according to my phone's health app) is a not too shoddy 154 kms, but a lot of that might be accounted to off- piste wandering!
In our next installment hear how we have taken a little time out to restore minds and bodies: coming soon!
Buen camino, y gracias!
