Today saw us completing the Porriño-Redondela leg of the Tui-Santiago comino, ending up in the stunningly lovely Pazo de Torres de Agrelo outside the latter.

Once away from Porriño, the shortish walk of 14km took us through beautiful Galician countryside until we hit the N550 just short of Redondela. It being a Monday, it proved difficult to find anywhere to eat both at midday and during the evening. But, somehow or other, we managed to end up in a – possibly illegal - furancho up in hills, where the prodigious amounts of wine and tapas cost us the princely sum of seven euros each.

I am beginning to appreciate the cameraderie one experiences on the camino. But it might just be the drink.

Up at six for the Pontevedra leg tomorrow. Maybe.
