Yesterday walked mostly beside the road, but past rolling green field and through the hills. The last part was steep, about 6 Awaba streets.
The photo above is this morning outside a small family run albergue in the hills. Today is a short climb and then it is pretty level to Santiago.
When I arrived here yesterday, I thought they were playing Irish folk music over the pa, but I was told it was traditional Galician music by a group called "Luar Na Lubre". I think there is a Celtic connection here.
Yesterday I walked for a while with a young German man who is deciding what he wants to study and do in his life. Such musings are fairly often one of the reasons for doing the Camino among the people I meet.
By the way, to put the walking in perspective, yesterday I met a man walking in the opposite direction. He was Voytek, who had left Poland in May and had already been to Santiago via Fatima and was walking back home. I also met Marco who was on his way back to Barcelona.

Yes Paul, the road to la Faba is steep. Just listening to the beautiful Galician music of Luar Na Lubre. There is an old christian link between the North of Spain (including Galicia) and Ireland maybe the pipes were the antique pipelines. Later you will discover another tasty link between Portugal (Porto) and England. The camino has different faces. Even a counterface by some strong cross-patched pelgrims walking back home. Enjoy your daily historical discoveries and meetings before entering the last province green and wet Galicia. What is pa ? Prairie ? Vanwege een Vlaamse pa.
ReplyDeleteBy pa I meant public address system, just the music in the albergue shop.
