Day 5: walking to Palas de Rei

We set off from Gonzar at 8am in the mist. We took a detour to see the Castromejor bronze age archeological dig on the top of the hill. The buildings looked like the ones we saw in the village yesterday - slate, dry stone walls, rounded rather than straight. We had our favourite pan y tomato breakfast with cafe con leche.

Then the sun came out and we made our way through the Galician woods, fields and villages. We arrived in Palas de Rei at around 2pm and got a room for 4 in the San Marcos Albergue.

We went out for our pilgrim menu. Dasa and Taňa tried the octopus.

Then a bit of shopping and rest. Dasa and I went out in the rain to the little church next to the albergue. In the middle of the sermon there was a great clap of thunder and all the lights went off and I thought the roof was going to fall in!
