So day off today. Leisurely breakfast and lazy day. That was the slope they made us walk up at the end of yesterday's hike!

Fonsigrada is a very quiet traditional Spanish town and we are going to spend the afternoon finding somewhere to enjoy the views and reading. The Pension is very comfortable and recently refurbished.

Time to reflect on the progress so far: it's been hard, much harder than the french way even if the views have been spectacular. Last year, I felt that I didn't want it to end probably because it had been such a release after Siobhan's passing. This year I'll be glad when it's over. I am looking forward to us visiting Porto and Lisbon afterwards. Maybe the magic of Galicia will work it's charm again. I'm sure I'll shed a tear on that last descent into Santiago. It will be my last visit to the holy city.
