In 2019, the thermal baths steps from albergue were open. A light drizzle cooled the heat of the baths the night I was there.
I took a wrong turn out of Ourense.

First, we headed over to the...
18. Day - San Romao to As Seixas, 14km, Albergue Municipal (railings)
Much less rain and easier to walk. I can finally see more of the beautiful landscape. It's a short walk, so I have to wait until the Albergue opens - I do that in a very close...
Welcome Mika!
