Meson do Vento to Sigueiro

It was misty and very chilly setting out on the 26kms walk to Sigueiro. Firstly we went through the lovely hamlet of Hospital de Bruma where the mobile shop was paying a visit.
Then on through minor roads linking tiny hamlets and villages including Cabeza de Lobo which had an eclectic mix of statues on the roadside.

Today's walk is straightforward and fairly flat but long in duration and the sight of a bar is always welcome to have a coffee and a bite to eat. One such place was O Cruceiro, built on the exact original Pilgrim's route. A 96 year old local man was having his daily coffee with brandy and a read of the newspaper.

The final 5 kms were on a straight road through a forest and the rain which had been forecast finally arrived! One final twist to the day came on arrival, soaking wet at the private albergue in town where the other walkers were already settled in. These included two Poles, Adam and Andi who speak with a Scottish accent, having lived in Edinburgh for the last ten years. There was no room for me but soon the owner, a lovely hyper active eccentric woman, laid out a spare bed in the front hallway. Job sorted for tonight.

Nearly there now. Only 16kms tomorrow to the end of the Camino Ingles at Santiago de Compostela.
