A crisp start to the day, with clear signs this was going to be another stinking hot day! Our exit was overflowing with pilgrims - goodness knows where Arzua packed them in.
The track reminded us of Oxfam - people, people, people and sheltered off road tracks. On this route we knew if we didn't see people (as opposed to waymarkings) we may have taken a wrong turn! So not to be ... 4 hours later (5km/ hour) Rua quickly appeared. Tomorrow we hope to make the pilgrim's mass at midday.
Rua is a small pilgrim stop, noted in our guide book for its village church and nothing else. We have found relaxing rural accommodation with a lovely garden bar and a restaurante with international coins within its brick work. Classic weekend away retreat!
Final day is upon you. Make sure you celebrate with good wine, food, throwing away of those 6 items of clothing and a change of footwear.the blog has been my daily morning ritual. Its been so interesting to travel the track via photos.
