Day 45 & 46: Palas de Rei to Boente to A Calle

Two moderate mileage days (13 and 10 miles) through the Galician countryside.

The trail is becoming more crowded now, and it’s so fun having conversations as I walk! I met a really nice lady whose son is on the Australian Olympic team as a kayaker, and a young lady who is a music teacher from New Brunswick, Canada and who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail! Without exception, the people I’ve met have been interesting, smart, strong and motivated.

These interesting little structures are all over Galicia. They were used hundreds of years ago as grain storage, elevated to keep pests out. No longer in use, they are just decorative.

There were literally cows being herded down the street in a little village on the way to Boerte.
