To O Pedrouzo

October 7

To O Pedrouzo 18km

What a surprise this morning when leaving Arzua. There are peregrinos from three caminos that converge at Arzua, hence today we were always surrounded by 15-20 peregrinos and there were more coffee stops along the way. However lunch was problematic with restaurants full and long waits. We were spoiled during the Northern Way, never having to wait for coffee or meals, and meeting few people along the way. Today about 50% of the people were walking with day-packs. Not surprising as there are tour companies that will organize hotels and backpack deliveries, which is an excellent way to experience the Camino without the physical rigger required.  At O Pedrouzo there are many hotels, pensiones and albergues to accommodate the throng of peregrinos entering the town.

Mario, HELP me!

Special beer for peregrinos.
