Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week were hot, semi-long mileage days in the Galician hills. Typically, these little towns are in valleys, so the day begins with a steep climb out of town and ends with a steep descent into the next town.

After four long days of hiking, I was ready for a rest day today in the little town of Palas de Rei. Not much to do here, but I did manage to get my laundry done and will probably head to the local church for a Pilgrim’s Mass tonight.
