Live - Camino Francés I am at Arzúa

[roamingpaddy]

About a 30 km hike today from Palas de Ris through beautiful Gallician country with a good amount of bars open to cater for the lesser number of perigringos. I would guess maybe about 80 walkers I saw today,about 50% Spanish and the rest europeans. I think in covid times that there is an extra bit of camaradee amoungst the perigringos. We seem to be well recieved in the towns and villages and walkers respect the locals by being masked and keeping distance.
So far I have been blest with excellent alborgues,spotless clean,kind and friendly and helpful owners. Tonight I am at hostal san francisco in Arzúa. Prices are usually 10 to 12 euro.
Only 2 days to Santiago now with under 40km left.
