May 9, 2017 – 15.5 miles (25 Km) – We left Portomarin early under cloudy skies, as we were trying to beat the rain. It felt very muggy. As soon as we left town we went up some pretty good hills, until we got above the fog. It was a beautiful view! We walked through a lot of the same scenery as yesterday, very green, lots of trees. We have been walking through lots of cattle farms these last three days. The smells are at times pretty hard to take, and there’s quite a few cow droppings along the way, you have to watch your step!
We arrived to Palas de Rei and beat the rain. We took a little walk when we were here, and could hear some thunder. After we got back, it started raining and hailing, we’re glad we made it here before it started. There are at least 5 people that are staying here tonight that have not arrived yet. That would be a rough walk!
