To Vilalba

October 2

To Vilalba 18km

It was a foggy cool morning and we started our trek at about 8:45am when there was more light. As we walked through the wooded area it sounded like it was raining, but it was the moisture from the fog on the leaves that resulted in water dropping on us like rain. We switched our trek to a secondary road to avoid getting wet. We had no hills and therefore it was a relatively easy walk today. On hilly days we average about 4km per hour. Today, I'm sure we were travelling at 5km per hour. Vilalba is a relatively large town(6,000 population), and only a few attractions - a church and Parador 4-star hotel converted from an old ruler's house and tower. A very impressive hotel!

This horse came out o greet us.
